Narcissistic Personality Disorder is something we’re fascinated by. In fact, our first post on According to Chren was: Think You’re Dating a Narcissist? Here’s How to Tell.

We decided to shift focus for this blog post and talk about narcissistic parents. Most people don’t realize that their parent or parents are narcissists until they reach adulthood, which is sad, because it leads to them dealing with trauma and PTSD for many years after moving out.

We co-wrote this post with Rocking Specter, who grew up with a narcissistic mother. The goal of this post is to help people recognize the personality traits of narcissistic parents so you can be aware of problematic behaviors. The worst thing you can do is normalize this type of behavior, leading you to expect to be treated badly in your life.
