Growing up too fast, these children miss out on our childhood completely. Oftentimes they grow up and they enter into relationships with narcissistically abusive partners that become people. They're terrified of failure and disappointment.
Ever wondered how a child can be both a family hero and a scapegoat? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein tackles the complex dynamics of the 'Golden/Scapegoat Child' role in narcissistic families. These children are often expected to excel in every aspect of life, serving as a trophy for their narcissistic parents. Yet, when things go wrong, they're the first to be blamed.
Yitz, drawing from his own experiences, paints a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil these children face. He explains how this dual role can lead to self-neglect, burnout, and a loss of identity. The episode isn't just about highlighting the problem; Yitz offers practical advice on how to break free from these damaging patterns. He emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-validation, providing listeners with actionable steps to reclaim their lives.
If you've ever felt trapped by family expectations, this episode offers a path toward healing and self-discovery.
