Because narcissistic parents see their children as extensions of themselves... they will just want them to support the parent and just to be an emotional support system which is subtle and ultimately very narcissistic and very abusive.
Imagine being a child caught in the middle of a toxic tug-of-war, where one parent uses you as a weapon against the other. In this eye-opening episode of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, Yitz Epstein sheds light on the disturbing reality of narcissistic parenting. Narcissistic abusers often manipulate their children to control their partners, creating an alliance with the child and brainwashing them to view the other parent as harmful.
This tactic not only damages the partner but also leaves lasting scars on the child, who is treated as an extension of the narcissist rather than an individual with their own thoughts and feelings. Yitz delves into how these parents use rewards, emotional manipulation, and positive reinforcement to mold their children into tools of control. The child, desperate for love and approval, often turns against the other parent, exacerbating the emotional turmoil.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with or recovering from narcissistic abuse, offering insights and techniques to heal from such traumatic experiences. Yitz's compassionate approach provides hope and practical advice for breaking free from these toxic dynamics and fostering healthier relationships. Whether you're a survivor of narcissistic abuse or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on reclaiming your life and protecting your children from similar harm.
