3. They Express Anger Outwardly and Often
An NPD parent frequently screams at their children and other family members. They are attempting to gain respect and exercise control by doing this. Additionally, they are easily agitated; for example, spilt food may cause them to exclaim that you are careless and should exercise more caution.
Those narcissistic parents have a very, very high opinion of themselves and think they are flawless. As a result, they regularly shout in order to criticize and demand the control they feel they are entitled to.
4. They Neglect Your Needs
Oftentimes, a narcissistic parent is unaware of your requirements. They frequently avoid responsibilities, such as failing to provide you with all the necessary school materials or failing to take you shopping for clothes even though you are wearing worn-out or old clothing, since they don’t give you enough attention and are unable to genuinely love you.
Narcissists are so self-centered that they are unable to see anybody else’s needs other than their own. Their poor self-esteem is frequently caused by either having narcissistic parents of their own or by experiencing great adversity as children, such as acute poverty or physical abuse.
Their lack of empathy and singular emphasis on their own needs—needs that weren’t addressed throughout their childhood—are the results of such events.
