Not caring about their children. They can fake it if their around other people, because they like to be admired, but there’s something fake, which doesn’t ring true, if you are familiar with narcissism. Sometimes narcissistic parents will push their children to do things they don’t want to do for their own benefit, rather than for the benefit of their children. However, non narcissistic parents also will induce their children to do things they don’t want to do, but it will be for the child’s benefit. This can make it tricky to distinguish between the two. Rather than focusing on the question of narcissistic parenting, you could consider narcissism in general. That is, rather than consider if the person is a narcissistic parent, just ask if they are narcissistic. A narcissist will always act narcissistically.
A narcissistic parent is extremely selfish and self-centered. He sees his children, as well as everyone else, not as persons, with their own personalities, needs and feelings. They are merely objects that exist only ti serve his purposes, an extension of themselves. He is capable of permanently harming his own children to get what he wants. When his childen fail to do so, he severely punishes them. He is incapable of empathy, so he will abuse and make his children feel lime crap, even when they are good, and often grow up woth severe guilt, low self-esteem, or even turn into psychos and narcisists themselves.
