Episode Overview
- Narcissistic parents display affection for public approval, while privately remaining disconnected
- They idealize the toddler stage to receive attention and compliments from others, focusing more on their role than the child's development
- Narcissistic parents seek control and compliance in pre-adult years, suppressing the child's individuality
- Their love is conditional, based on the child meeting their expectations and reflecting positively on them
- They use children as pawns to manipulate situations, create rifts among siblings, and maintain dominance within the family structure
Narcissistic parents do not love their children. You're used as a trophy. You're used as an extension. You are used as a pawn. And any difference of opinion, any uniqueness, including your individuality, is belittled. You're humiliated for that. And they attack your growing and developing identity until they erase it or suppress it.
Imagine growing up in a household where love feels more like a transaction than a genuine bond. In this thought-provoking episode, Danish Bashir, a seasoned expert in narcissistic abuse recovery, takes a deep dive into the unsettling dynamics between narcissistic parents and their children. Danish unpacks seven core reasons why narcissistic parents struggle to offer authentic love to their offspring, highlighting the emotional scars left behind.
