Ep 176: Double Standards in Narcissistic Abuse: How to Stay Grounded as a Co-Parent
from The Rising Beyond Podcast · host Sybil Cummin, MA, LPC, ACS
Do the double standards that show up in a narcissistic relationship and “co-parenting” relationship drive you crazy?Double standards are a hallmark of narcissistic abuse and are pervasive even (maybe especially) after you have left the relationship.In this episode we explore why someone with narcissism requires these double standards to work in their world and how the larger system allows and supports them to continue. We also discuss ways in which you can lessen their emotional impact, decide if and when to engage and point the double standards out, and how best to do this to present as a good “co-parent.”While the double standards will always be a part of any relationship your ex partner has, you can make shifts to not allow it to take so much of your emotional energy.Be sure to listen to Episode 83: Co-Parenting with a Narcissist: Strategies for Modifying the Parenting Plan - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1991648/episodes/14356912-ep-83-co-parenting-with-a-narcissist-strategies-for-modifying-the-parenting-planPlease leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.
