Publisher's Synopsis
Were you raised by a narcissist? Are you still under the destructive hold of a narcissistic parent?Hundreds of thousands of people across the globe were raised by at least one narcissistic parent. You are not alone and you are not beyond help. At least six percent of the adult population in the United States has been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
The term narcissist is so often used to refer to an intimate partner relationship, but what happens when the narcissist has children? How is that dynamic similar or different to the intimate partner dynamic?
Children of narcissists often continue the circle of trauma in their own adult lives by experiencing low self-worth and they are left believing that love is never unconditional. This can have a serious knock-on effect in their own personal relationships as well as when they become parents themselves.
If you are a child of a narcissist, it is possible for you to heal from this.
In Narcissistic Fathers we will delve deeply into the dynamic that is created when a narcissist (or two) forms a family unit and has children. We will explore the root causes and available solutions for healing from narcissistic parenting.
If you suspect that your mother has narcissistic tendencies, we will also help you to determine whether this is indeed true so that you can begin to piece together the puzzle of your difficult childhood.
