Surviving a narcissistic parent

A narcissistic parent can be defined as someone who lives through, is possessive of, and/or engages in marginalizing competition with their child. Typically, the narcissistic parent perceives the independence of a child (including adult children) as a threat, and coerces them to exist in the parent’s shadow, with unreasonable expectations. In a narcissistic parenting relationship, the child is rarely loved just for being herself or himself. People are accessories to them, and little more than a disposable means to meet their own ends.
