Narcissist Traits of a Parent who Alienates- Charlie Mc Cready

Many alienating parents exhibit narcissistic traits, which include an intense need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. They are sensitive to rejection and criticism because it challenges their self-perceived superiority. Being told “no” or not getting their way threatens their sense of control and dominance. Their flexibility with the truth (aka outright lies and deceptions) stems from a desire to maintain their self-image as flawless. They consider themselves something of a hero! Being ignored undermines their need for validation from the outside world. Also, they resent others’ success or attention, feeling threatened by anyone who outshines them. In the case of ‘parental alienation’, this extends to fearing or being threatened by the idea that the children love their ex. They avoid counselling and disregard court rules to evade exposure or accountability, reinforcing their manipulative tactics. Believe it or not, many of these behaviours stem from their deep-seated insecurity and the compulsion to maintain a facade of perfection and superiority.

Kim Saeed – narcissism is a brain condition..

Narcissism is largely a condition of the brain. A lot of people get mad as hell when introduced to this fact. They think it’s making excuses for narcissists and implying they have no choice or control over how they act. But, this isn’t the case at all. Here is a crash course on this topic, by my colleague who knows the REAL DEAL when it comes to narcissistic individuals and how they behave.

“While NPD affects certain brain functions, others are completely intact, allowing control and choice in behavior. This highlights that despite NPD’s complexities, individuals with the disorder can still discern and choose their actions, especially in contexts that serve their interests. They have a perfectly functioning system when it comes to understanding right/ wrong. They fully know what makes them look bad. They are able completely to target their problematic behaviors to specific individuals. That is how most (if not all) of them function. They are not fully at the mercy of a brain that makes them do something.” @Neuroinstincts – Dr. Rhonda Freeman

Abandonment Issues – Sherrie Campbell PhD

Tuesday Teachings

Abandonment syndrome is real. It results from not being able to count on those closest to us to be there with any predictability, stability or consistency. We are left constantly feeling as if the bottom could fall out at any minute, and no one will be there to lovingly and willingly support us.

It is impossible to develop trust in a family where we live each day having to cope with their unregulated moodiness, selfishness, and manipulation. We cannot feel safe when we never know where we stand. This type of hidden abuse creates abandonment syndrome.

When we suffer from abandonment syndrome, we live life walking delicately on eggshells. We overthink, over-care, and overdo to try and keep relationships. We desperately try not to be too much of something bad and not enough of something good.

To be placed in this type of position is emotional abuse at its finest. We have the right to stop this pattern of abandonment in our lives. We must set our boundaries and then fiercely stand by them.
