Being a child of two narcissistic parents, I can tell you that growing up around them was no fun. It was like getting caught in a storm that lasted for years, running a marathon with no end in sight. No matter how tired you were, you were not allowed to rest. You had to keep going, you had to keep running for your life, you had to survive somehow. They treated you in the most horrible way possible when they should have been the people to give you unconditional love and set an example of what it means to be loved wholeheartedly. As a child of such tyrants, you grow up with wounds that most people around you do not understand.
Number One: They Become Jealous of Their Own Kids
You might wonder what kind of parent becomes jealous of their own kid. Well, a narcissist clearly does. Why? They themselves are developmentally stuck, like a 2-year-old living in an adult body. That is their level of maturity and understanding. This is the reason why, when you express yourself and show your personality, they get triggered because they see you as a threat. They need to keep you in an infantile state so that they can have maximum control over you. When you grow and show you have intellectual capabilities, are creative, have hobbies, and have a life to live, they suppress it immediately out of their jealousy, which then becomes animosity and enmity. They may overtly put you down when you come to them showing your accolades and accomplishments: “Look, Dad, I did so well in my examination, look at my grades,” or “Dad, I got this trophy,” or “Mom, I got this trophy in today’s soccer match.” “H, that’s nothing. His son or her son did far better than you, and that’s not going to get you anywhere. It’s not enough.” That is what you will hear from them.
