As a victim of a narcissistic family allow me to give you all my hard learned advice- Get those bad manipulative jealous hateful people you know out of your life permanently. They will steal your peace of mind, your money, your husband or wife, your reputation, and your life. Protect yourself at all times from the narcissists and keep love and happiness in your life !!!

My mother is a narcissist. She raised 3 kids and none of us are narcissists. We all have issues with our self esteem though. Anxiety and mild depression. If they don’t create a narcissist then they damage their children in other ways.

[OK-pifq]

I think it’s also inherited. We have narcissists throughout our family, but my dad separated from them before we were born, and only had sporadic interactions within our lives. He is very much not a narcissist, and my mother is also very much not a narcissist, and I don’t believe I am either, but my sister is. She does have trauma, but she wasn’t raised by narcissists, and we didn’t have a close relationship with our narcissistic part of the family, so I believe it can be inherited.

If my devouring mother heard this she'd swear on my life that shes not like that then 'look up the river', metaphorically, to catch the best light & cast a shadow on me. I've survived her.

I agree. When the favourite child is being protected and rewarded even though he did harm to the other child. A mother who always no matter what, only takes the side of the same child who grows up to think he is better than the other, more important, more loved, and therefor entitled to treat his sister or other women disrespectfully exactly the way he wants, show no empathy because he always is right to do whatever, even physical violence. Thats how to create a narcissist right there. My mother still blames me for my bad relationship to my brother, because it is just easier to blame that same kid for everything. I unfortunately am intelligent and see right through all the manipulation and gaslighting since a very young age, before these terms even had a word

Ex is a narc. 26 years of bs. It took over a year to get the kinks out. My self-esteem was at an extremely low level! Divorced 5 years. I have never felt so free!

How anyone can say they were a perfect parent is beyond me.

Self-awareness is a God-given gift that we should never take for granted, and actually, we need to thank God for it.

[markcollins]

I’ve known my ex-wife for the last 28 years. Never once have I gotten a sincere apology for anything meaningful. I’m blessed that she is my ex. I’ve worked hard in my own recovery and hoping that it impacts my kids in positive ways.

[thecozyconstellation]

true. plus neglect!!! a lot of times neglected kids end up being narcissists.

[mirinabourbonnais]

My mom constantly said "well look at your sisters; its obviously you who's the problem."

[danielle]

💜💜💜 There is a narcissistic leader in the family and you must adhere to them, their wants, their needs, and wishes if you don’t, you’re then cast out!

[GB-bd]

All I can say is that there is a special place reserved for these wicked people that knowingly cause harm to others and stand firm in doing so. It’s sickening.

[kimmcleod]

Definitely! Non narcissistic parents can raise narcissistic children too, but it's usually by accident. Over compensating for the struggles they endured can produce narcissistic children.

[heatherrue]

I was a single mom who fell into a narcissist trap. When the rose colored glasses came off, I took my kids and Ran. I'm doing my best. But I'll admit I screw up sometimes

[kimvannote]

It's comes from Trauma through child abuse - shame, neglect and abandonment. Narcissistic parents definitely raise their children to become Narcissists, because they are learning Narcissism through the parents role modeling or lack of it. Abandonment through different forms of abuse - neglect . . . or overindulgence (a sense of entitlement) which sets them up to be Very Hurt and to Hurt other people all over the place. It's a Mess.

[angelakeely]

Two extremes, spoil the child can = a future Narcissist, be to harsh on a child, can equal = a future Narcissist 😈

[AshaLee]

The thing is, no parents are perfect. No matter how amazing and kind and caring they are. Raising good humans is the hardest job a person can have. Even if we are constantly trying to do our best, we still mess up along the way, and that’s okay. But part of the human experience is behind honest about our mistakes and accepting that we can learn from our own behavior. To say you raised your kids perfectly is to say you never made any mistakes, and that simply isn’t possible.

[rebeccatrono]

Narcissism also is now known to have a genetic component. It runs in our family. We can pick them out in several generations.

My ex was definitely created by his mother, she was a toxic demon who raised a damaged unloved child. Pretty sad to be honest.
Ive always been petrified about this kind of stuff and a psychopath can be created in younger development through traumatic damage. I made sure to try my best by my son, I'm certainly not perfect and can only hope that ive done the right things by him to help him be a kind and compassionate member of society.
