Illustration reflecting the traits of a parent with narcissistic personality disorder - blaming, dismissing, minimizing, lack of empathy or care, emotional volatility.
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can have profound and lasting effects on a child’s emotional and psychological well-being. Such parents often prioritize their own needs and desires, leaving their children feeling neglected and unimportant.
Narcissistic parents tend to be emotionally distant, neglectful, and even abusive. This creates a challenging environment to grow up in. Children of narcissists often fail to meet the ever-shifting parental expectations. Children may start perceiving their parent’s love as conditional, which leads to self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and unhealthy adult relationships.
Recovery and healing from the effects of being raised by such parent is possible and I encourage professional help.
