INFO:

I’m a Narcissistic Parent... Narc parents exhibit a stark contrast between their public and private personas, openly giving unsolicited opinions and criticizing their child for objecting. Narcissistic parents express a need to know personal details about their child’s life before anyone else, showing possessiveness and a lack of respect for boundaries. They also diminish their child’s experiences and achievements, claiming to have suffered worse health issues and taking credit for their child’s successes. Furthermore, this parent is quick to share private information, such as a pregnancy announcement, without consent, emphasizing a disregard for their child’s autonomy. They refuse to accept responsibility for any pain they’ve caused, instead blaming the child for any perceived shortcomings or issues, showcasing a lack of empathy and accountability characteristic of narcissistic behavior.
