Narcissistic fathers often use their job as a means of giving them false pride - 'I work, I pay the bills, so you owe me this'.
In this episode of Power of the Mind, Madi Isenberg and Elicia Morigeau tackle the complex and often painful topic of the narcissistic father. If you've ever wondered why some fathers seem to wield their job and authority like a weapon, this episode sheds light on that behaviour. Narcissistic fathers often use their role as breadwinners to justify controlling and manipulative actions within the family.
They may demand perfection, leaving their children and spouses walking on eggshells, constantly trying to avoid triggering an unpredictable outburst. The discussion explores how these fathers maintain power dynamics by keeping their family members dependent and fearful, often leading to long-lasting emotional scars. The hosts also delve into the ripple effects on children, who might either grow up to mirror these narcissistic traits or become excessively codependent.
The conversation is both eye-opening and deeply empathetic, as Elicia shares personal anecdotes that many can relate to. She recalls her own experiences with a controlling father and how it shaped her behaviour and relationships. The episode offers valuable insights into recognising these toxic patterns and breaking the cycle of generational trauma. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the impact of narcissistic parenting on family dynamics and personal growth.
So, if you're ready to gain a deeper understanding of how narcissistic fathers operate and what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones, this episode is for you. Tune in and discover how to break free from these damaging patterns and create healthier relationships.
