Narcissistic parents don’t discard their children physically, as they have an image to maintain. They often present themselves as the perfect, caring parents to the outside world, while behind closed doors, they manipulate and control their children to fulfill their own needs and desires. This psychological and emotional abuse can be deeply damaging, leaving lasting scars on their children. The children of narcissistic parents may struggle with issues of self-worth, anxiety, and depression, as they navigate the complexities of having parents who are more concerned with their own image than their child's well-being. Despite the lack of physical abandonment, the emotional and psychological neglect can be just as harmful.
