Narcissistic Parents

When Love Becomes a Weapon: Breaking Free from the Hidden Trauma of Narcissistic Parenting You deserved unconditional love. Instead, you got conditional survival. Growing up with a narcissistic parent isn't just difficult—it's a daily erosion of your sense of self, your worth, and your reality. Behind closed doors, children become extensions of their parent's ego, walking on eggshells, constantly performing, never quite good enough, yet somehow always "too much." If this sounds familiar, you're not alone: Feeling responsible for your parent's emotions and reactions Second-guessing your own memories and perceptions Struggling with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or chronic guilt Finding it hard to trust your own judgment in relationships Feeling invisible unless you're meeting someone else's needs The invisible wounds run deep. Emotional neglect, manipulation disguised as love, and the constant shifting of reality create a particular kind of trauma—one that's often misunderstood, minimized, or overlooked entirely. This book validates your experience and offers a roadmap to healing. You'll discover why traditional advice often falls short, learn to identify the subtle patterns of narcissistic abuse, and most importantly, begin to reclaim the authentic self that was buried beneath years of survival. You weren't born broken. You were systematically taught to question your worth. It's time to unlearn those lessons and write a new story—one where your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and your healing is possible. Your journey to freedom starts here.
