Narcissistic Parents: How Will They End Up?

In this video, I discuss what ultimately happens to narcissistic parents and the real-life consequences they often face as they age. Understanding this will help you let go of unrealistic expectations, position yourself to protect your well-being, and stay true to yourself—even if they never change or offer their approval.

I watched my mother deteriorate. She was manipulative and controlling even on her deathbed. Incredibly sad. She was soooo bitter. She definitely lied to us about her assets. She wanted my sister and I to suffer.

From observation, seems they end alone. It's an unfortunate side effect of trying to manipulate, isolate and control everyone around you. You wanted control; now, you got it, over the only person you should have controlled, yourself.

I broke that cycle! My daughter is so grateful I did. My daughter is probably the only person that can see what I have dealt with.

My N mother lost almost everyone due to her constant lies and manipulation.

Even still, she has had no remorse or regret over all the evil she dished out to everyone. Instead, she is only depressed that the manipulation isn't working anymore. A true demon to the end.

My aging 88 year old mother is losing her control . She caused me so much pain, while all my siblings turned a blind eye to it. I feel no emotional connection to her at all . I told her never to call me again. I pray that she doesn’t.

I have enough siblings who were willing to continue the game. So they rather ignored me, isolated me, blamed me - once a therapist said: they sacrificed you - than reflecting and changing something.

Great video, I left at age 38, never looked back. I'm 60 now, my biggest regret is not leaving home at 16 yrs old.

I finally gathered the courage to go no contact with my narcissistic parents 2 months ago. And yesterday my father wrote to me that my mother is in the hospital, having surgery. They think it might be cancer.
I didn't call, I didn't go see her. I'm feeling incredibly guilty, but I just can't bare to talk to either of them again. It's just been too much and something broke inside me. I know it sounds dramatic, but I can feel it in my body, like a strong wave of disgust and rejection towards them.
But there's also a huge wave of guilt. I don't know what to do anymore. It's tearing me apart. If any of you have been through something similar, I'd really appreciate an opinion.

My husband and I went to care for her for a bit bc she had begged me to go over and help her. So we did and it wasn’t an easy cross country move. Only to get there and instant attempts to cause friction between my husband and I so she can separate us. He would be in the next room and she would ask me “what’s he doing in there? What could he be doing without you?” Meanwhile he would be in the kitchen cooking her meals. And since I have been married before she would refer to that to state how this won’t last either. We ended up doing what we could for her and left as soon as possible. We would rather rebuild our life again as nomads than remain in the dysfunction of that family.
Thank you for all your advice and the connections you help us all see.

When they play the inheritance card I just reckon it's lies to keep everyone in line!

Keeping flying monkeys away was life changing

It is actually very sad...My Mum is in her late 70s....and I have not seen her for nearly 7 yrs...but not a day goes by that i dont think about her. i am in my latter 50s. She hates me so much, yet I love her. You ave taught me about the reason behind this. Narcissism. Only then the guilt was removed about the past. Crazy as it sounds my only guilt left is not seeing her if she passes. Although i have often said my mother will live longer than me. If people heard my story they probably wouldnt believe it. I have raised three wonderful children, and as a parent looking back I faked most of it, maybe that is what saved them. My marriage unfortunatley didnt make it..we divorced after 25yrs...all I needed to do was take my Mum out of the equation. I miss him so much. Nothing I can do now...he passed at 50 yrs of age I have rambled on enough. First time speaking out. Thank you for the gift Jerry...you are a wonderful man. Also I can see that I am not alone with all the comments on here

Its not what they have done, its what they continue to do that brings about their isolation. It just never ends.

[jackilynpyzocha]

Dad is toxic to me; I gave up on dealing with him. Much less stress and strain and emotional pain for me!

[GH-zgwu]

Went no contact just over a year ago, so fortunately I won’t have to see how they end up!

[laurajones]

Narcissists use health issues and family emergencies to worm their way back in without apology or accountability

Don’t do it!
Stay strong

It´s sad to realize that one´s narcissistic parent will never understand the pain and damage they´ve caused. I used to be angry, sometimes I would feel terribly depressed, but after a process that took about three years of going no contact -and watching many of Jerry´s videos- I have come to realize that what I need is to focus on my well-being and learning to tell other people to respect my boundaries. Focus on my kids, my husband, not get triggered. Regarding the narcisistic parent, I did my best. I have a clear conscience and need to move forward...

[edwardgreacen]

Thank you for reminding us to keep from becoming sympathetic to the aging narcissist. They will keep on using the same manipulation, isolation, and control techniques they have employed before. They will end up alone.

[sjmullen]

Narcissistic parents end up dying before they really know their children. Leaving the children damaged and struggling to go on.
