Number nine: Sabotage their children’s success.
Narcissistic parents are highly known to be envious of their sons and daughters. They believe that their children’s independence is entirely a threat to the control they have over them. Narcissistic parents also vigorously treat their children as their competitors. For instance, if a young girl is physically and mentally growing into a woman, her narcissistic mother will think that she’s getting older, and all the attention will turn to her daughter.
This will steer to one of her harmful dispositions. The narcissistic mother develops insignificance and extreme jealousy, especially if her husband is fond of her daughter, and so, she takes comfort in dictating to the child what she should wear and how she should act around people without taking over her mother’s life.
Number 10: Trauma.
Because of the horrible treatment and the terrible and abusive experience that they get from their narcissistic parents, the children develop trauma during the process and grow up. Even if they manage to get away from their parents, the pain is incurred them forever. The child subconsciously feels insecure and doubtful of everyone and everything. They will avoid social interaction and formulate intense anxiety within them, as they begin to question their worth. And worst things to worst, they might pass on this trauma to their future children.
