Narcissistic parents often gaslight their children, manipulating their perception of reality to maintain control and power. This insidious form of psychological abuse distorts the child's understanding of events, making them doubt their own experiences and feelings. Over time, this relentless gaslighting can erode self-esteem, foster dependency, and create a profound sense of confusion and mistrust in the child. It's crucial to recognize and address this harmful behavior to break the cycle of abuse and support the child's emotional and psychological well-being.
