He will continue to be narcisstic. =There is a section re: this on Sam Vaknin's site. It says that in rare cases a traumatic incident like the deathof one's parents can trigger "spontaneous healing."
I have my personal doubts. I believe my ex N would uses the death of his father to gain sympathy. His crocodile tears are very dramatic indeed.
He says he both hates/loves(?) his deceased father and will idolize and de-value him in the same conversation.(Oh please!) He only calls mom when he needs something. She is on a fixed income but he will ask her for money rather than get a job. I really don't think he gives a damn!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
