Reason 7: They exercise favoritism and create a rift.
They exercise favoritism and create a rift among siblings through manipulation. A narcissistic parent favors one child over the other, using the favored child as an ally to manipulate and control the siblings. This favoritism is rarely based on genuine affection but is a means to maintain dominance and control within the family structure. That is what it is all about. They are the puppeteer, and you are the puppets. Everybody is dancing on their whims; everybody is functioning according to their will. But nobody knows, except the scapegoat, what is going on in the family.

In conclusion, narcissistic parents do not love their children, no, never, never. I have grown up with parents like that. Both of my parents are narcissists, if you do not know already, and I have never experienced true unconditional, proper, healthy parental love. It was dysfunctional from both sides. You’re used as a trophy; you are used as an extension; you are used as a pawn, and any difference of opinion, any uniqueness, including your individuality, is belittled. You’re humiliated for that, and they attack your growing and developing identity until they erase it or suppress it.
