When Your Adult Child Takes Their Side: Surviving the Second Betrayal of Covert Narcissistic Abuse

When the Child You Protected Believes the Narcissist
It’s a betrayal that cuts deeper than most people can understand—when your adult child, the one you protected for years, turns on you and takes the side of the covert narcissist. If you’re walking through this devastating experience, you are not alone.

I’m opening a small, supportive Zoom coaching group just for parents facing this heartbreak. This group is a safe place to process the grief, confusion, and isolation of being cast as the villain in a story you spent your life protecting them from.

We’ll meet weekly to work through the pain, understand why this happens, and rebuild your peace, identity, and strength—together.

This is your space to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Spots are limited. Learn more and reserve your place at www.covertnarcissism.com
