Narcissistic mothers are susceptible to any real or imagined criticism and are prone to having emotional outbursts that may include verbal abuse, passive-aggressive behavior, infantilism, and even physical violence. They often try to control their children through guilt or bribes (such as gifts or money), and sometimes therapy sessions are used in the same way.

It is a highly selective form of emotional resonance with people in their immediate environment. Narcissists can intuitively sense when others are under stress or emotionally aroused, and they will respond emotionally and even engage in small talk with these people to comfort them or 'make them feel better.'

Clan Donald

Donald J. Macdonald

This volume presents a detailed history of this Scottish noble lineage from the medieval Lords of the Isles to the mid–eighteenth century. Clan Donald is not the history of one clan, but of several important clans that descend from the old Kingdom of Macdonald. Each of these clans played its part in the history of Scotland until the fateful Battle of Culloden in 1746. Covering a period of six hundred years, the narrative begins with Somerled and the foundation of the Lordship of the Isles. It traces the narrative through the downfall of the Lordship in 1493 and the various branches that arose thereafter. The book then culminates in an overview of how the Celtic and Roman Churches were influenced by Clan Donald.  Based on the original, three-volume edition of Clan Donald—first published between 1896 and 1904—this all-encompassing reference book is essential for members of the Clan as well as students of the Western Highlands and Isles.
