Hello. I am new to this, so I will attempt to explain the situation that is going on with my brother and his wife. He has been married for 3 years and has a
2 year old son.
We always thought that something was "not quite right" about his wife. She has lots of the characteristics of NPD, like inappropriate emotions or no
emotion (coldness), needy, self centered, moods fluctate "jekyl and hide", lack of empathy, controlling, manipulative, critical, anti social, cannot
take criticism/suggestions at all without having a tantrum. Everyone has to "walk on eggshells" around her.
To "her" son, she is very controlling, possessive and smothering. She carries him constantly, still breastfeeds him several times a day and during
the night, takes a bath with him and generally does not let people near him, even his dad. This is very upsetting to our family.
Five weeks ago, she left him and took their son with her. She's living with her parents now. She "allows" my brother to see his son once a week
under supervision. They are not legally separated or divorced. She has told him that she thinks he's nuts and will not come back home until he gets help.
We all agree that my brother is fine and that she is the one who needs help.
This is becoming a desparate situation. We are not sure what to do. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated. THANKS!
