Narcissistic parents demand certain behavior from their children because they see the children as extensions of themselves, and need the children to represent them in the world in ways that meet the parents’ emotional needs. (For example, a narcissistic father who was a lawyer demanded that his son, who had always been treated as the "favorite" in the family, enter the legal profession as well. When the son chose another career, the father rejected and disparaged him.) These traits will lead overly narcissistic parents to be very intrusive in some ways, and entirely neglectful in others. The children are punished if they do not respond adequately to the parents’ needs. This punishment may take a variety of forms, including physical abuse, angry outbursts, blame, attempts to instill guilt, emotional neglect, and criticism. Whatever form it takes, the purpose of the punishment is to enforce compliance with the parents' narcissistic needs. From Wikipedia under the

My husband came to me with our daughter just now saying she came to him because he's so appealing. He was teasing of course, but to be blunt my husband is a primping pretty boy. He looks good, he knows it. He spends more time in front of a mirror than I do. The full length mirror on the back of the closet door is for him, not for me. Do you think parents like him have any effect on their children? Asked by Elizabeth L - Sun Mar 1 17:51:40 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. LOL My husband used to be like this when we were in college. After awhile he totally changed! Thank God. Because we only have one bathroom. I think it can probably more negatively affect women and their daughters than men. It's one thing to take pride in your appearance, but I imagine women can pass on these traits to their daughters that place too much emphasis on outer beauty and material things. But I could be wrong. Answered by HouseMom - Sun Mar 1 17:57:55 2009 Narcissistic Abusive Parents? Q. Can anyone help with the consequences of narcism by a parent? I know someone who has narcistic mother and to a certain extent father. My friend's sibling is the golden child and not my friend and is not well thought of by the parents. My friend tries to deal with them, but is completely unable to do so - it's like the abusive upbringing is preventing proper confrontation of issues, when they have been approached the parents narcism will not allow any acceptance or change. My friend says it s not worth it and to a certain extents is bonded. Its good to be bonded to parents but when they are very destructive to their child, I feel its unhealthy and needs change. My friend has a really good family, good job, health and happiness, but the… [cont.] Asked by Robert B - Wed Dec 2 05:11:54 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The greatest truth of human relationships is that we are only responsible for ourselves. We can't change others, fix others, dictate their emotions. We can help them change, if they are making the effort themselves, but that's as far as it goes. So your friend is powerless against any personality disorders his parent's may have. All he can do is choose how he will respond to them, and that is a very powerful choice to make. He can either separate from them, or simply learn not to be affected by their illness, recognize that their attitudes toward him are a product of an internal process within their minds, beyond his power to influence. Just as we cannot change other people, we do not need their permission to become happy, healthy, and… [cont.] Answered by oruboris - Wed Dec 2 16:53:12 2009 Do you have a pathologically narcissistic relative or parent in your family?
Q. You know that book "Trapped In the Mirror". Anyway, growing up w/a narc of a parent or two or step parent--how in the world have you DEALT w/such personalities? [when it's alll about them, and you want your energy to and for yourself for a change]--how have you creatively handled those people? or person? Asked by deirdrefaith - Tue May 22 02:00:47 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. ...Well, I haven't experienced this, but a few close friends have. They either moved away from their parents, divorced their selfish wife...and the other guy cheats on his wife as secret pay back (presently). Sounds like to me they all ran from the problems or tuned them out. I for one, just don't put my self in the company of a selfish a-s-s hole and if I am put in that situation, I will not hesitate to tell them to go f-u-c-k themselves. Sorry, but that is how I get down. Answered by unknown - Tue May 22 02:11:08 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Narcissistic parents"
