 With the current discussion in our culture around victims of abuse, the topic of narcissism has become a trending topic in newspapers, magazines, videos, and online resources. In response, we have created this free 5-day email course that features our best resources on this topic from a Christian perspective. This short course includes articles as well as a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes of audio and video teaching.

I am convinced my wife has NPD. I have separated from her several times but when I pray I feel God leads me back to her (I am diagnosed codependent and bi-polar so I may be listening to my own fears).

to the writer who mentioned the things he set out for his wife. i totally understand where you’re coming from, i constantly wavier back and forth as to if i should spell it out all in a written contract. but when i begin to mental process it all, it saddens me that she will view it as “too much work” and will give up. the things we are wanting from ththe Women we love, i feel, is often too late in life to MAKE someone want to Value Us and the relationship to Do the Work necessary. Transformation of the Mind is first a WANT then it’s a Long long life journey... and i often feel that people with NPD have spent tooo many years in that black hole to every see hope, and especially if it’s coming across as a “must” from their Spouse (even thif Best Well loving one)! because the ball WILL be dropped (as we all sin and fall short of his glory), however, and i’m sure you can agree... the Hurt and betrayal that has happened goes beyond an “accidental sin”, and for me, it almost ALL seems intentional... so if/when it were to happen under the “new contract”.. i “fear” my Mind and Heart will Immediatelay Revert to believing it is intentional and I just can not go through that agin.

Thank you for talking about NPD. I am searching for help because my son was diagnosed with NPD. He is currently in the Army and recently returned state side after being deployed to Afghanistan for nine months. His behaviors are so magnified now. He has left his wife, isolated himself, and now is living with grandiose ideas about his future when he gets out of the Army. He received physical injuries in the Army and is disabled. He is waiting for his paperwork to finalize and will be moving to live with an Army buddy. After finding out his diagnosis, he began to go to therapy for a few months but we noticed that his behaviors began to become more frequent. He had stopped going to therapy. I went to counseling when he was a preteen because he was already exhibiting extremely risky behavior. My christian counselor suggested therapy for myself. I took it and I glad that I did. I had a traumatic childhood and many things to work through. My son's biological father was extremely abusive and manipulative. He was in and out of our lives and by the time my son was almost four years old - his father broke into my home and physically took him from me. He was with him for two weeks before he had to appear in court because of a retraining order I had filed against him. His father only showed up a couple of times for his court appointed visitation. Me and my son moved with my mother and his father never made any contact with him again. When my son was 18, his biological father died and my son spiraled out of control. It has been that way for the past ten years. However, being in the Army has given him accountability and structure that have protected him from his ways. Now that he is getting out of the Army, he is spinning out of control. His anxiety is through the roof and he is feeling completely out of control. I just want to know how to speak with him. I need help with this. He is my son and I love him and I want to do what is best for him and for me. Comments are closed.
