Narcissism and Parenting

KyeWilde

I would like to argue in court that Narcissism should be considered a factor when determining a parent's competency. The problem is that courts do not consider Narcissism a factor, nor are South African psychologists very well educated on the disorder and its diagnosis. So I'm trying to decide which route will be less harmful to my child: Lifelong narcissistic abuse or custody battles to free him from narcissism. Thus my question is, should narcissists be primary caregivers? What are the long-term effects on children being raised in a narcissistic environment? Is narcissistic abuse more or less harmful than physical abuse? Thank you kindly

My eldest granddaughter aged 11 has been poisoned against her mother by the father and his mother who are classic manipulative narcissists.
All decisions are made without consulting my daughter.
The GP has even been advised not to give the mother any information about her child’s health.
She’s been allowed to have acrylic nail extensions (against school rules ) She’s indulged and not disciplined and is rude to her mother.
She’s chosen to live with her dad and only spends 24 hours a week with her mum, ordered by a judge temporarily til things can be sorted, but damage has been done and the child is manipulated into thinking her mother is inadequate.
The younger sibling mainly lives with her mother and spends 24 hours a week with her dad. The paternal grandmother is mainly raising the 11 year old and has the most influence. The paternal family tried to block my granddaughter from seeing her mother.
