Is there a questionnaire that I can use for relatives of narcissists (adults and children) to find out how high the risk potential is because of a narcissist in the family?

There are a few; a quick google search will help you find one that you find most helpful. Mostly, these questions ask about patterns of previous behavior on the part of the narcissist/abuser in order to try and predict what she or he will do next.

Things to be aware of include: previous incidents of harm to self, pets, children, or partner(s), previous or increasing use of drugs or alcohol, stability of work, housing, and financial situation, and previous or current threats to harm him/her self or others.

Quite honestly, if there is a person in your life who behaves in such toxic ways toward self or others, who is constantly taking up space in your head with worry, constantly taking more of your time and energy and financial resources than any of your other relationships or family obligations, it may be time to go No Contact, for your own sanity and peace of mind. Family is important, it is true, but when family is toxic, it is time to withdraw your participation in the toxic dynamic. You have your own precious and dear ones to love and care for, including yourself, and it is not fair to them or to you to allow one person’s dysfunction to occupy so much of your life.
