Find Out if You Were Raised by a Narcissistic Father

Many people don’t realize that they grew up with a narcissistic father.  They don’t know what is wrong with their lives.  They don’t realize that they have continued to fill their lives with other narcissists, and this is why, no matter how hard they try, their relationships aren’t working.  It’s because they haven’t known what they’re dealing with. 

In families, where there is a narcissistic father, things sometimes seem rather normal.  But…upon closer examination, there are certain “rules”.  He is right and apologizes for nothing.  There is no understanding that children go through developmental stages and need help to grow into healthy adults; therefore, he doesn’t spend time teaching his children how to do things and then he is shocked when his child makes a mistake. The child wonders, “How could I have not known that?” and vows to never be found inadequate again.  He cannot tolerate his child’s emotional need of him and views his child’s longings for attachment as excessively needy and will label his child’s feelings as dramatic.

Read more about the dynamics of growing up with a narcissistic father in the new book, You Might Be a Narcissist If… How to Identify Narcissism in Ourselves and Others and What We Can Do About It.   Chapter Two is titled, “Growing Up in a Narcissistic Family” and has several real life examples of people who were raised by narcissistic fathers.

The origins of narcissism are explained in Chapter 3:  The Creation of Narcissism… You might be shocked about what actually creates narcissistic injuries and traits.  Chapter 4 is:  The Struggles of the Adult Child of a Narcissistic Family.  

Chapters 5and 6 clearly spell out helpful hints you can use to more effectively deal narcissism in your father, spouse, your friends, other family members, co-workers, your boss, fellow committee members, or even your own adult children.

This book was written by two psychotherapists and a psychiatrist with decades of both personal and professional experience dealing with narcissism.
