The Hell of Parenting With A Narcissist

Join my FREE masterclass on How To Parent With A Narcissist: https://carolinestrawson.com/parenting-masterclass  Order my NEW book here: https://carolinestrawson.showit.site/book   On today's episode of Trauma and Narcissism Redefined, I'm discussing the difficulties of parenting alongside a narcissist - even after separation. Narcissists will often try to use your children against you, whether that be through forcing you to rely on them financially, influencing their opinion of you directly, or using the court system against you in the case of divorce.   In fact when you go through a divorce with a narcissist the abuse doesn't stop, it often escalates. This is known as post-separation abuse, and only through understanding their methods and healing yourself can you break out of the cycle.   Key topics covered in this episode: The impact of narcissistic abuse on parenting and self-worth Strategies for setting boundaries through parallel parenting Techniques for managing your emotions and nervous system The difference between changing the situation and managing your internal response   Join me for my free How To Parent With A Narcissist masterclass, live on Sunday 15th September. In it I'll be covering key strategies like parallel parenting, nervous system regulation, and the importance of putting your own oxygen mask on first before supporting your children.
