After all the power, bling, excitement, retinues, luxuries, residences, treks and trips----some narcissists crave something more, a living narcissistic supply---a baby of their own, even if they are beyond middle age and have grown children. Some female narcissists who have climbed the professional heights and shattered every glass ceiling decide that, even though they are technically past child bearing age, they will have an in vitro procedure using a surrogate womb and fresh ovum.  They pick the sperm donor so that the child will be custom made for them. It is true that some middle aged women who are not narcissists are genuine in their wish to have children and follow this route with great love and dedication. I am talking about male and female narcissists,

Male narcissists who have reached the ultimate in power and wealth feel the cold, biting wind of age gaining on them. They dump their pre-menopausal, menopausal or post menopausal wives, find a new model (thirty or forty years younger) and proceed to have the perfect child (even though they are grandparents from several former marriages).  

This way male and female narcissists demonstrate to themselves and every one that they are still young, vital, attractive,desirable and capable of producing new life: a budding version of themselves, perhaps? Visit my website:www.thenarcissistinyourlife.com
