When the kids come back, they're shouting, they're aggressive, they are anxious before they go. They get x, y, Z. The narcissistic parent just throws everything at them in an attempt to try and get the children to favoritize that particular parent.
Picture this: you're trying to co-parent with someone who showers your kids with expensive gifts and grand gestures, all in an attempt to be the 'fun' parent. Caroline Strawson calls these individuals 'Disney narcissistic parents'. In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline breaks down what it means to deal with such parents and the impact their behavior has on both you and your children.
You'll learn how to identify these Disney narcissistic parents and why their actions can be so triggering. Caroline explains why kids might misbehave with you but not with the narcissistic parent, shedding light on the psychological dynamics at play. She introduces the concept of The Tolerance Ladder, a tool that helps understand children's behavior in these challenging situations. Caroline also emphasizes the importance of focusing on your child's well-being and creating a secure, loving environment.
While the narcissistic parent might try to buy affection with material possessions, Caroline argues that the true value lies in the emotional connection and values you instill in your children. Minimizing contact with the narcissistic parent and healing from past experiences are crucial steps in this journey. If you're grappling with the complexities of co-parenting with a narcissist, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support.
Caroline's insights aim to help you navigate these tricky waters while keeping your child's best interests at heart.
