Co-Parenting Challenges with Covert Narcissists: Ross Rosenberg's Insights

Covert narcissists are dangerous. And if you are divorced from your covert narcissist and you are experiencing the counter-parenting dilemma, then you have, or should have, a better idea of what's happening and reach out to someone who has the experience and knowledge and the mental health degree to help you, because this is a very complicated situation that has booby traps and landmines strewn all over the place.
Navigating the murky waters of co-parenting is tough enough, but throw a covert narcissist into the mix, and it can feel downright impossible. In this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg, a seasoned psychotherapist and best-selling author, tackles this very issue head-on. Drawing from his extensive professional background and personal experiences, Ross sheds light on the destructive behaviors covert narcissists exhibit during and after a divorce or separation.
He explains how these individuals sabotage healthy co-parenting dynamics by placing blame, shirking responsibility, and projecting their issues onto their co-parent, often leading to attachment trauma in their children. This trauma can set the stage for future codependency or what Ross terms 'Self-Love Deficit Disorder' (SLD). Ross doesn’t just outline the problem; he offers practical advice and coping strategies for those entangled in this toxic dynamic.
He underscores the importance of seeking professional help and shares actionable tips to manage the complex and often dangerous situation of co-parenting with a covert narcissist. If you or someone you know is grappling with the fallout of covert narcissistic abuse in a co-parenting setup, this episode is packed with invaluable insights and hope for healing. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding and find your path to emotional freedom.
