This group is for adult children of Narcissistic parents.
[This is NOT a group for adult entertainment!]
These parents typically look to the child to meet their needs. This expectation is harmful to the child's overall mental health, which carries into adulthood. It is very similar to children raised in alcoholic homes. These homes appear "Normal and Healthy" to the outside world It is only the children who suffer, and suffer alone. In homes such as these, the child's job is to make sure the parent's needs are being filled. In doing such, their identity, their "true feelings" are stuffed deep within them. THEY know something isn't right...but the family looks so perfect on the outside, often it is the child who is blamed.
Children from these homes are often overlooked, because the adult narcissist will make sure things "look good" on the outside. Children will not really understand what their feelings are, because the true expression of feelings is discouraged in a house run by a narcisstic parent. Often the child struggles alone.
This is a new topic. The group is unmoderated, except for cases of abusive or inappropriate behavior. It is intended to be a safe nurturing place, for learning and thoughtful discussion, and to validate each other's experiences and feelings.
If this message makes no sense to you, then you were not raised in a narcissistic home. If this sounds like you.....please join.
[And again . . . if you are looking for adult entertainment, please go elsewhere.]
