Do narcissists love their children?

So I don't understand how my mother looked at motherhood. I don't understand how she could look at a baby and it not be "hers" anymore. I was no more than an obligation, a millstone around her neck.

7 Reasons Why a Narcissist Doesn’t Love Their Children

With my first pregnancy, I was terrified this would happen. It never did. With my second son, I was terrified I wouldn't have enough love for both children. As my friend Rae explained, "love just multiplies." It sure did!

If an NPD mother does love her children, it's for what they bring to her, and I felt that I brought her nothing but pain and shame after I was finally born.

My mother once said, "You'll see this happen when you have a baby: when the baby is inside of you, it's all yours. Once you give birth, the baby isn't yours anymore. It's everybody else's."

I was too young to understand how my mother was insanely jealous.

If James Bond is meant to be the best secret agent in the world, how come all the bad guys in the World seem to know who he is?

I, too, heard a lot of "I wish I never had children," and, "Your father loves you more than he loves me."

I'll never say as she did, “I wish I never had kids.” That's just too cruel to understand.
