Borderline is Narcissist's “Dead” Mother, Parentifies Him as Her Rescuer (EXCERPT)
Channel: Prof. Sam Vaknin
Date: 2022-01-15

In relationships with borderlines, the narcissist offers unconditional love and parentifies himself: the borderline stands in for his “dead” (dysfunctional) mother and affords him a second chance to fix/heal/rescue/save her and, by extension, himself.

In relationships with non-borderlines, narcissist and intimate partners both are good enough maternal figures in a shared fantasy (“fake family”).
