<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Last year, I was attending a party. I never miss it because they have amazing cakes! I was not dressed up, particularly for the event, unlike the rest of the people. I don’t really mind that either since everybody has the right to be who they are. <\/span><\/p>\n I was enjoying the beautiful winter afternoon and great music with my husband and daughters when I noticed a very young and glamorous couple entering the party. <\/span><\/p>\n They looked so good together, and to be honest, it was a lovely sight. They started meeting and greeting others at the party, and of course, it was the perfect time to take selfies. <\/span><\/p>\n As I was secretly admiring them for their youth and energy, all of a sudden, I noticed a child, around the age of my younger daughter, very shabbily dressed walking under the couple’s shadow.<\/span><\/p>\n The child seemed almost invisible to everyone in the party, even to her parents. <\/span><\/p>\n They were swiftly moving from one place to another, making sure to mingle with the crowd, and it was difficult for the child to keep up with their pace, and she kept on drifting away from them. <\/span><\/p>\n I was suddenly flabbergasted by the sight. <\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps it had something to do with me being a parent and educator for a significant period of time. <\/span><\/p>\n The sight of the unattended little girl got stuck in my head. I began to wonder about the outrageous contrast between her state and that of her parents. Well, at least they were both enjoying it and were together in it.<\/span><\/p>\n So, is that what happens when a narcissist becomes a parent.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
