You don't think a young mother whose husband died would be a big enough significant emotional event to cause any change in the mother? Making up other unknowns isn't really necessary.
Not any change. It can't turn her into a pink bunny rabbit and it can't create a personality disorder. Bereavement has well understood effects, it doesn't cause neurodivergence.
Right, but you are stating for a fact that these changes occured. All we know is a 1 sentence description about how his mom changed from the POV of when he was a child.
A young mom losing her spouse is enough to shock your whole world and plan for life. She (I'm assuming) saw the money as security to help raise her son. Idk either way there is unprocessed trauma. I think, we agree with that fact. I just find it weird to be so 100% on diagnosising a mental illness with so little information.
You've got me confused for someone else. I'm the one saying not to diagnose a mental disorder. And I'd like to add that NPD isn't a mental illness, it's a mental disorder. The difference is you can't catch NPD like it's the flu. It's lifelong.
