For part 1 of this 2 part series, we’re going to explore what goes on in the family when a parent or caregiver has narcissistic traits or full NPD. The narcissistic family environment is often filled with challenging aspects that breed self-contempt, uncertainty, and intense fear, doubt, and insecurity. Knowledge is empowerment, so let’s empower you with knowledge.

Growing up with a narcissistic parent typically entails the following Narcissistic Family Characteristics:
Many family secrets
Abandonment anxiety
Idealized child
Fractured Trust
Emotional Compliance
Triangulation
Misdirected Communication
Indistinct Boundaries
Superficiality

Common implicit messages from narcissistic parent is “just because I’m your mother doesn’t mean I have to care about you. My feelings are more important than yours.” Or “Don’t be so selfish, think about me”.

That self-doubt, uncertainty, fear of the unexpected, and lack of trust in self and others is often what comes these environments but it doesn’t have to stay that way. You can change it with therapy and focusing on your own growth. The first step is to look at and identify your personality characteristics that grew out of the narcissistic family environment you grew up in.
In the next video we’ll breakdown the personality characteristics of adult children of narcissistic parents.
