Accepting both parents didn't is even more so, even when you understand it's because they're narcissists. Knowing both your parents didn't love you can make you feel very unlovable.
Imagine discovering that the parent you thought was 'good' is actually a covert narcissist. In this eye-opening episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug tackles this tough subject head-on. Many people struggle with the revelation that not just one, but both of their parents exhibit narcissistic behaviors. This can leave you feeling unlovable and confused, especially when the abuse is subtle and masked by guilt and disapproval.
Cynthia dives into the tricky distinction between overt and covert narcissists, explaining how the latter can be harder to spot. Covert narcissists often present themselves as innocent or naive, making their manipulative actions even more insidious. Victims frequently experience cognitive dissonance, struggling to reconcile their love for their parent with the painful reality of their behavior. To help navigate this emotional minefield, Cynthia offers practical advice such as praying, journaling, and confiding in trusted friends or counselors.
These strategies aim to provide comfort and clarity, helping you face the truth and begin the healing process. If you're grappling with the painful realization that your 'good' parent might be a covert narcissist, this episode serves as a compassionate guide. Cynthia's blend of personal experience and professional insight offers a beacon of hope for those feeling lost in the fog of narcissistic abuse.
