Narcissistic parents hate boundaries put up by their children because these limits challenge their need for control and superiority. Such parents often view their children as extensions of themselves rather than independent individuals, leading to an expectation of unconditional compliance and admiration. Boundaries signify a child's assertion of autonomy and self-respect, which threatens the narcissistic parent's fragile ego and disrupts their sense of entitlement. Consequently, any attempt by the child to establish personal limits is met with resistance, manipulation, or outright hostility, as it undermines the parent's dominance and disrupts their carefully constructed self-image.
