Children of narcissists are so badly by an inability to understand the difference about right from wrong. They grow up with a parent who insists that how he lives, what he does is always right...and it is the rest of the world that is wrong. There is much written about the skewed thoughts of children of a narcissistic parent, and how that child strives to get affection from the narcissist by always agreeing with him/her just to keep peace, or get attention themselves.

It is just another damage narcissists do to people around them. And the child continues in life, living a lie, that they never can reveal. Most narcissistic parents are very strict about any child "spilling the beans," "telling family secrets," etc. They give the children a pseudo feeling of responsibility to the parent...and not to laws of the land or morality.

I know a whole family of boys so affected. None of them will admit what their father was, what he did was wrong, or that it affected them. All three are in therapy, have divorced, have trouble at jobs, are irritable people - and never happy. They all share a secret, but are all afraid to face it. Narcissistic parents make their family afraid of stating the truth, for fear of not being loyal to the parent.

The game is complicated, the narcissist makes and changes the rules as he/she goes along, our minds cannot conceive how the fog these children live in clouds thier understanding of what is truth, morality, good living. They just are in a constant state of denial about what they saw/heard/endured in their home growing up.

So, if they cover up for a parent, they are not evil, they are doing as taught, as the Narcissistic parent demanded. It is very sad.

Interesting but sad. I always though OJ would murder again but I would have never guessed something like this would happen. It is kind of silly.
