Nacissism and Parental Alenation

This may have been posted before, but I thought I would share it due to the recent problems with my SO and his kids.

This is part of an article in the link provided.

When the child is with the narcissistic parent, there is no attachment motivation available because of the nature of narcissistic relationships, and the child does not feel bad. This is because when the child is with the non-narcissistic parent he or she feels the natural grief response, which is painful, and when the child is with the narcissistic parent he or she does not feel the grief response. The child interprets this incorrectly thinking that they feel bad because the non-narcissistic parent is abusive.

Like your ex-MIL, our BM is

Like your ex-MIL, our BM is from a family of generational narcissists. Both parents and her sister. Exactly as described in the articles.

SO is trying to get hold of his lawyer to see if he can get the skids into counselling, but OSD is already an adult and MSD will be early next year so I don't think he can force them to. YSD, well, living with BM and being around other narcissists, I am sure any progress she gets out of counselling will be reversed as soon as she goes back home.

BM2 tries this with SS13 but

BM2 tries this with SS13 but it doesn't work. He is on the spectrum so really doesn't pick up on social cues and vindictive type behaviors. It just doesn't register with him. He'd love a darn rock if it showed him any form of kindness.

So he has come out with bits of things that he has said BM2 keeps telling him but it goes right over his head and he never will hate DH or I.

Poor BM2
