Understanding Narcissistic Parenting
Narcissistic parents exhibit distinct traits that can impact their children profoundly from a young age. Key indicators include entitlement, low empathy, and grandiosity, often leading to manipulative behaviors such as gaslighting and sharing private information inappropriately. Such dynamics create an environment where children feel they must earn their parents' love through accomplishments, reinforcing feelings of inadequacy or shame. As a result, adult children may find themselves in persistent roles of caregiver to their parents, struggling with the guilt of having needs or desires that conflict with their parents' expectations.
