Hi Caliyogi,
I'm sorry your son has to feel the sting of abandonment That is tough to witness, too, as a parent. How old is your son? Does he express how he feels about his dad's abandonment?
My sons father is a narcissist who abandoned him after a setback in court three years ago. I’m just curious, does anyone know what the long-term might look like? Has anyone experienced this before and had the parent return?
Exact same thing happened in our case, too.
My ex (who my T suspects has both a fear of abandonment and a fear of inferiority, so BPD/NPD), did the same thing 3-4 years ago. I was eventually awarded full custody. n/BPDx pretty much disappeared from S16's life.
n/BPDx does not communicate with me at all, although apparently he texts S16 from time to time. Usually, it's something self-centered about n/BPDx.
S16 chooses to not respond for now. He said if his dad asked him a question or seemed interested in his life, maybe. But there is never a question, and no genuine interest in how S16 is doing.
Is your son receiving any counseling?
