imagine pouring your heart into raising
your child only to face rejection and
emotional abuse in return for some
parents this is the painful reality of
having an adult child who has narcissistic
narcissistic
Tendencies parenting doesn't come with a
manual and despite our best efforts
relationships with our kids can
deteriorate when an adult child has
these traits it can lead to emotional
turmoil and estrangement in this video
we're going to explore how to recognize
narcissistic behavior understand its
cope so recognizing narcissistic
behavior in adult children so
narcissistic personality disorder or NPD
is a mental health condition
characterized by a pattern of
grandiosity a need for admiration and a
lack of empathy when these traits
manifest in adult children parents May
notice behaviors such as what we call
lack of respect and empathy they
disregard your feelings and needs
focusing solely on their own and it's a
conditional relationship they only reach
out when they need something whether
financial support or validation there's
some manipulation an exploitation going
on they use guilt gaslighting or
coercion to get what they want often at
your emotional expense there's a
resistance to boundaries setting
boundaries leads to anger or explosive
reactions making it difficult to
establish healthy limits so let's talk
about the emotional toll on parents when
we discover our adult child has these
narcissistic traits it's profoundly
painful parents often experience guilt
and self-blame questioning where they
were wrong okay they have a diminished
sense of selfworth especially after
years of being devalued or dismissed
they have anxiety and fear of conflict
they feel like they're walking on
eggshells there's obsessive thoughts
about the relationship replaying past
interactions in hopes of finding a
solution they could be depression and
grief mourning the loss of this
relationship they had hoped for while
the harsh reality of accountability and
estrangement one of the hardest truths
to accept is that your adult child may
never take responsibility for their role
in the breakdown of the relationship and
narcissists struggle with accountability
they may rewrite history to make
themselves the victim leaving you
helpless and misunderstood and research
suggests that family estrangement is
more common than we realize we know that
approximately 27% of adults are arranged
from a family member and personality
disorder like NPD can play a significant
role in these ruptures estrangement from
a narcissistic child is especially
painful because their ability to
manipulate and blame others can leave
parents doubting themselves it can feel
like you're in a hole with no ladder to
get out I often say and you hear me if
you've been listening to any of my
videos that it's really important to
take accountability because something
happened and yes I believe that there is
always something a parent can say you
know what I take responsibility I'm so
sorry I want to make it better I want to
do better okay the parents can always do
that however it's really important that
before you jump to the conclusion that
your adult child is a narcissist that
you first look and say hey what have I
done because you can both be having
escalated behaviors manipulative
controlling behaviors as discussed in
this video and then you're sit around
thinking it has nothing to do with you
because you might be in denial because
you don't want to be the terrible ugly
parent that your kid is all disregulated
telling you that you are and then you
come to the conclusion oh my kid is a
narcissist this is what a lot of adult
children have done as well immediately
blaming parents for um being totally uh
terrible meanwhile there's this pattern
of um Mutual disregulation and
maltreatment I just want you to be aware
and be careful and remember that these
things are not easy to untangle and
figure out everything needs to be sifted
out with a professional so that you know

these things are multifaceted there's
not just one size fits all and much of
what I say is a generalization I don't

for you to follow the suggestions in
this video while this situation is
undeniably painful there are ways to
