Narcissists & ill People

Summary: A person may struggle to look after someone else due to a lack of empathy for others and blame-shift to the ill person for why something is happening. A personality disorder created in childhood can appear in many areas of life. Avoiding responding while projecting is not sound when someone is less than healthy. Many people caught in a narcissistic relationship are taken down due to this simple situation: “What is unhealthy for one can be unhealthy for two.”
