Being that scapegoat within a narcissistic family is such deep, deep pain for that child. Regardless of how good or amazing that child is, it's never ever going to reach the expectations of that narcissistic parent, and they feel very scapegoated with that.
Ever wondered how narcissistic abuse affects family dynamics? In this episode of the Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast, Caroline Strawson dives deep into the roles within families plagued by narcissism, particularly focusing on the scapegoat. Caroline, an award-winning Trauma Therapist & Coach, unpacks the concept of scapegoating and its devastating impact on a child's self-worth and future relationships. She sheds light on why narcissistic mothers can be especially damaging and provides real-life examples of scapegoating within families.
One key takeaway is understanding how children, no matter how exceptional, often fall short of a narcissistic parent's impossible standards, leading to deep-seated issues with self-esteem. Caroline also stresses the importance of breaking the cycle of abuse. She believes that healing yourself can pave the way for healing future generations. Setting boundaries, seeking support, and using trauma-informed therapy are essential steps in this journey.
If you or someone you know is grappling with narcissistic abuse, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice to help you start your healing process.
