You can speak about the children of narcissists as a general group, and see that they are more likely to suffer some sort of damage - such as an never learning empathy and how to personally attach to another individual.
You cannot make a blanket statement, however. Each child reacts somewhat differently, and each child has a different support structure outside of the narcissistic relationship. Even the degrees of severity of the Narcissism help to determine the extent of the damage done on the child.
Suffice it to say that having a narcissistic parent or parents puts the child at a disadvantage when it comes to learning how to interact with other people. If they do not find good examples and role models elsewhere, the chances are slim that they can figure out how to relate with others on their own.
And, if you are the child of a narcissist, and recognize it, I suggest that you seek other relationships to model and learn from!
