Can narcissism of one partner be abusive?
If one partner has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, yes, the other partner is abused. Having your thoughts, feelings, needs, and dreams constantly ignored and invalidated is abusive. When one person believes himself or herself to be of so much more importance than the other, verbal and even physical abuse often occur. “Narcissistic personality disorder is a serious emotional disturbance characterized by a grandiose, or extremely exaggerated, sense of self-importance. Individuals with this disorder lack empathy for other people but need constant admiration from them.” http://www.mayoclinic.com/…
