The ugly truth …
Ageing is a nightmare for a narcissist because they’ve fabricated, over the years, a false personality based on a sense of superiority. They need followers, attention, adoration, and validation which feeds the dark void of their deepest selves where they believe themselves worthless. The shame and self-loathing are hidden behind the grandiosity of the false self. As they age, they don’t get better at accepting criticism, and their need and reliance on external validation doesn’t alleviate either. Alienating parents get a lot of validation and support from their children, but this source, unlike them, grows up, and (hopefully) becomes independent. They can become incredibly bitter. They can also become lonely as many friends might have had enough of them by now. Alienators/narcissists like to control situations, but they can’t control time and the ageing process.
Please see more of my posts on Instagram. I post them there first, two or three a day. They’re there to spread awareness about parental alienation, to inform and to uplift. I hope they help.
