Thanks so much for your insight and support.
It aided my healing. Too much of my heart
was in this post to let it remain here for posterity on the web.
The post served its purpose and now it is time to
edit it or gently take it down.

to every purpose under the heaven: Ecclesiates 3:1

I see narcissism as a continuum from mild to severe. Ns at the mild end are far less destructive than Ns at the severe end of the continuum. Ns at the severe end are dangerous, evil monsters. They are psychopaths which is a constellation of various mental disturbances. This still doesn't negate their evilness and threat to society. Ns at the mild end are mainly insufferable and not necessarily evil.

My definition of evil is viewing living creatures as objects without life, as things for one's own gratification. Period.

I would guess that with all things there is a scale of 0-10, mild to severe. Additionally, factors of their education, background, gender, etc. will determine their style and methods. Is it better to be only mildly evil? Can we say, "well, at least she did not commit murders." It also depends on the toleration level of the victim. It is very complicated, too complicated for me to sort -- I only know that it hurts, hurts real bad, and the pain is compounded by a 1000% when it is your parent abusing you.
