Narcissists often have secretive, enmeshed relationships with their families, especially with their mothers or siblings. If you’re in a relationship with a male narcissist, for example, you may notice that he prioritizes his family over you, but won’t tell you what’s going on.
If you ask about his family relationships, he may lash out, accusing you of being jealous or crazy. Narcissists will always keep these relationships under wraps, leaving you feeling like an outsider. They form tight-knit, cult-like bonds with their family, functioning as a secret group that you’ll never fully understand.
