Agreed. Thanks for sharing, Stella.

How sick is it that people with NPD view their spouse and children as a source a narcissistic supply? In my own case, my ex was recently given only supervised visitation with our son and he is throwing a tantrum as if I took his "toy" away. When I have observed my ex spend time with our toddler in the past, he treats him like a toy, with exaggerated expressions of affection and he speaks to him in a sing-song voice. Tellingly, he also often tell him, "You're MINE." It is creepy. And sad.

Now that my ex has limited time with our son (who I truly believe is his main source of narcissistic supply), I wonder whether he will move away (like he often threatens) and look for a new source.
