Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

Behind the Perfect Mask of the Narcissistic Family


Listen Later

To outsiders, narcissistic families often appear flawless—supportive parents, successful children, and a picture-perfect life. Yet beneath the surface lies manipulation, control, and emotional abuse that remain hidden from the public eye. 

(For 1 on 1 online counselling in your own toxic relationship/narcissistic abuse recovery please visit my website at

This episode explores how narcissistic parents craft the illusion of perfection, the roles family members are forced to play, and why friends, relatives, and colleagues rarely see the dysfunction.

Listeners will gain insight into toxic family dynamics, covert abuse, parental narcissism, and the lasting psychological effects on children and spouses. By understanding how these families maintain their public image, you can begin to recognize patterns of narcissistic behavior, validate lived experiences, and see beyond the mask that conceals the truth.
