Neither Angel nor Guardian: Reflections on a narcissistic father

By Miguel Ángel Núñez

Every story usually has dark aspects. All human beings hide some trauma or wound. This book focuses on the author who narrates his pains, his conflicts, and his difficult moments alongside a man who never knew how to be a father but was also a victim of his own circumstances. He left a legacy of pain, suffering, and bitterness. His children, his wife, the few friends he had, and his relatives all had to learn to deal with someone who lived as if no one else existed in the universe but him and his needs. Dealing with a narcissist is a difficult and arduous task.

This book is not only about the author's experience but also a text about narcissism and its disastrous consequences for all those who have to deal with the problem. Narcissism does not only harm those who live with this personality disorder day by day but also everyone around them, be they friends, family, or coworkers.

Dr. Miguel ngel N ez, a couples therapist and family specialist, international speaker, and writer, adds this book to his vast literary production. It is a mix of autobiography and a professional analysis of a topic that has reached global epidemic proportions. We live, as one author puts it, in the "century of narcissism," probably because the conditions are ripe for the worst fears of yesteryears to come true in the lives of those who, as a defense mechanism at first and as a way of life afterward, simply did not know how to stop in time and seek help to escape a problem that reaches tragic proportions. The author lives in Spain with his wife, near his two married children and his beloved four grandchildren. He has published more than 90 books.
