COVERT NARCISSISTIC FATHER - ROLE PLAY - 3 WAYS

COVERT NARCISSISTIC FATHER - ROLE PLAY - 3 WAYS

Many of you have asked for a role play video with a covert narcissistic father and here it is.

The main thing in my mind about a parent like this is the focus on outside
relationships to gain sympathy (strangers, romantic partners, neighbors)and how abandoning responsibilities and family are sneaky and easy for this person.

An adult child growing up with a parent like this, tends to be overly empathic towards people who take advantage. They also struggle with knowing what are normal expectations.

I love these role plays because I don’t know what a non toxic relationship looks like.

[poppyseed]

I cried when the normal dad asked the son about the son’s life! Wow, a parent actually asking YOU about YOU!!

[chloek]

When your Dad cheats on your Mom but somehow he is the victim and she made him do it lol

[maureenseel]

The empowered son conversation was hard. Because I just had a conversation with my dad very much like it. And the whole time inner child voice is like "SHUT UP! YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE!"

[Smurgleblurgle]

When he said "change your tone, dad" I practically cheered! I didn't even realize that was an option! Thank you so much for these role-plays!

[magykjames]

OMG, what a nightmare. My dad was always more invested in the well-being of strangers and outside people than his own kids. Gosh!

[ourtravelingzoo]

My mother. Always the victim yet the meanest person around

[WhereIsCynthia]

These role plays are just blowing my mind. It's making me realize that the parent doesn't have to be a full-blown monster in order to be toxic. Thank you for this, Patrick.

[aussieoranges]

I get so uncomfortable watching the "empowered" version of this conversation because I am so ill-equipped to speak up for myself in these situations. As mean and nasty as the father is being, it's the son's healthy boundary setting that strikes me as "improper" or "inappropriate". Very thought provoking!

[coachzaynab]

I cried because of how much I wished I had a healthy father. I miss the father I've never had.

[AugustAdvice]

It makes me sad whenever I hear the conversation with the healthy parent, because its such a stark contrast to what I grew up with and I can only imagine how much healthier I would be if I had a parent like that. Sometimes it feels like I'm having to mourn who I could have been.

[Amanda-wjtj]

So....Guilt tripping your kid, being jealous of them and constantly telling them how hard your life is isn't normal healthy behaviour? I wish I had seen these videos years ago, my life would've ended up so different! Actually I really love my life now :-) but feeling less guilty all these years would have been nice!! Thanks for the videos eh! At least I know now 👍

[catiedavis]

Not me watching this for "entertainment" while eating breakfast and inadvertently realising that my dad was a covert narcissist. Suddenly all of my relationships with men make sense. Thank you for this!

[satsumaimo]

holy shit. im always very worried that im being too sensitive, taking things too seriously, or not being compassionate or empathetic. my dad is like this. thank you for showing me im not insane haha

[mahsakhallaghizadeh]

Is that odd that watching the healthy relationship makes me think there is something wrong with that, cause it seem "too easy" and "too good"! Like is that even normal?! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[Quantum]

I was shocked at how "normal" I thought the first father was. This is what I grew up with, and now as an adult, I can see all the behavior full blown. I am now expected to be the "caretaker", even though he's perfectly healthy and does not need any care. It's miserable.

[ganasca]

The healthy father part made me cry. I can't imagine how it feels to have a dad who cares for what you feel.

[sydneyjohnson]

The unhealthy father talking about how his wife divorcing him ruined his life is word for word my dad...21 years later and he still wants to talk about it like it was yesterday.

[GwaginGwagin]

I've caught my own self complaining to my daughter about my problems and this video is an eye opener, thanks for that.

[mskhan]

is it only me or anyone else feel heaven when he plays healthy parents ... caring parents... i hold my tears.. some people are truly blessed with good parents
