Why do narcissists often choose their family over you? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, breaks down six compelling reasons behind this behaviour. Danish explains that narcissists are fiercely loyal to their family of origin, not out of love, but due to enmeshment and the constant need for ego validation. Their families act as enablers, blindly supporting and justifying their actions, which makes the narcissist feel like the ultimate victim.
This loyalty isn't about genuine care but about maintaining a collective image and avoiding exclusion from their 'cult-like' family dynamics. Danish also highlights that narcissistic families operate like a beehive, with each member functioning as an extension of the main narcissist. They support each other to maintain the façade of a perfect family, even if it means sacrificing their own individuality.
This episode sheds light on the toxic loyalty within narcissistic families and how it impacts relationships outside this tight-knit circle. Danish shares personal anecdotes about his own family's dynamics, illustrating how deeply ingrained these behaviours can be. He discusses how narcissists fear total exclusion from their family, driving them to prioritise these relationships over their own partners and children. The episode wraps up by questioning the true nature of this loyalty, suggesting that narcissists are ultimately loyal only to themselves.
If you're struggling to understand why your narcissistic partner always sides with their family, this episode offers valuable insights. It’s a must-listen for anyone dealing with narcissistic abuse and looking to make sense of these complex relationships.
