Narcissistic parents often struggle when their children begin to express their true selves and prioritize self-care. These parents may perceive their children's authenticity and self-nurturing behaviors as threats to their control and authority. They might undermine or criticize their kids' efforts to establish personal boundaries or pursue activities that promote their well-being. This can lead to tension and conflict within the family, as the children's need for individuality clashes with the parents' desire for dominance. Ultimately, it is crucial for children of narcissistic parents to recognize these patterns and seek supportive environments where they can thrive and maintain their mental health.
