Narcissistic parents, driven by their desire to maintain a perfect public image, often refrain from physically discarding their children. These parents are acutely aware of how their actions might be perceived by others and prioritize their reputation above all else. Despite the lack of physical abandonment, their emotional and psychological neglect can be just as damaging. The children of narcissistic parents frequently experience a lack of genuine affection and support, as their needs are overshadowed by the parents' need for admiration and validation. This environment fosters a sense of insecurity and low self-worth in the children, who struggle to understand their value outside of their parents' narcissistic lens.
