Dear Liane,
How do you know whether or not a batterer has a narcissistic/borderline personality disorder? Do you have any statistics on this subset? The majority of professionals including mental health professionals and family court judges cannot distinguish a narcissistic/borderline parent from a healthy parent. I am not sure if anyone realizes that there are 32 million narcissistic/borderline adults in the U.S. alone. There are 22 million targeted parents, who are people like me that married and had children with a narcissistic/borderline and didn't even know it until he had already caused so much psychological damage that my two children and I will struggle with physical and mental impairments the rest of our lives.
