Narcissists are often drawn to choosing "romantic partners", or even platonic friends, because they think this person will IMPRESS their friends or family.
When the person does or says anything that doesn't align with the Narcissist's "image", the N. will often start to turn on the person, and devalue them, often ending in rejection of the person, or even attack.
This can happen in any relationship with a Narcissist, including family; an N. parent will reject their own child because the child isn't lining up with the N. parent's IMAGE.
