Jessica,

First, the article. You take something so complex, so nuanced, and you deconstruct it into something we can wrap our minds and arms around. It is very well done. I am the step-mother of two adult children of a narcissist. Their mother has also caused PAS (parental alienation syndrome) with her daughters, my husband…

Pierre do you happen to live in Paris? Would love to share a coffee / tea with you. Your reflections on what I write always leave me in awe and gratitude.

Thank you Johanna for sharing. You demonstrate such bravery in your action. Love.

I am the 58 year old only daughter of a 92 year old narcissistic mother. As she becomes more and more reliant on me for her day to day needs, I am able to let go of those old patterns that you describe. And yet, as a mother myself, I still have doubts of my own self worth which is inexorably tied to what I can do for others. I just want to be okay…

To have a narcissistic parent

Is to believe the whole universe’s calamities are your making

Thank you

You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.
