Narcissists are extraordinarily self entitled. It doesn't matter whether they deserve what they demand or not, they will get what they want; you can be sure of this. Self entitlement is part of their personality structure. From the time they were very young, budding narcissists learned that their wishes were everyone else's commands. If they were raised as the golden child, the parents picked them to be the star of the family and taught them early to be exceedingly self entitled. The other siblings were treated differently, despite their accomplishments, fine character qualities or talents. The injustice of the difference in treatment of children within the same family does not go unnoticed. The narcissist pays no attention to how his siblings are being ignored and mistreated. Often these children blame themselves for not being good enough. They feel defective and inferior.
Those who have gone through the narcissistic wars draw a clear line, stating that they will no longer be treated with disrespect, constant demands, outlandish humiliations and manipulations. They free themselves from the narcissist. In it's place they reconstruct their lives, finding freedom, creativity and peace in the process of becoming their true selves. Along with this these individuals rediscover a robust sense of self entitlement---the permission to live an evolving, creative, expanding and peaceful inner life, filled with richness of their unique being and a circle of friends with whom they share and contribute to one another's lives.
