Kids and building a family gives a lot of attention, it gives a lot of validation, and if a narcissist is in competition with a sibling, let's say, or a cousin, you can see them competing with that family member for attention and praise by having children.
Why would someone who is self-absorbed want to become a parent? It sounds contradictory, but E.B. Johnson tackles this puzzling question in this episode of Practical Growth: A Self-Recovery Podcast. She dives into the world of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and unpacks why individuals with these traits might choose to have children. The episode sheds light on the motivations behind this decision, including the desire for validation and attention through their offspring.
Johnson explains how these narcissistic tendencies can lead to emotional neglect and abuse for the children involved. But it's not all gloom and doom. E.B. offers practical advice on how to heal from such a toxic upbringing. She emphasizes the importance of emotional regulation and understanding narcissism to start your journey towards recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the impact of a narcissistic parent, providing both insights and actionable steps to move forward.
