Raised by a Vulnerable Narcissistic Parent: When Forgiveness Becomes a Weapon


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the emotional aftermath of being raised by a vulnerable narcissistic parent—the type who manipulates your compassion, guilt-trips you into forgiveness, and demands loyalty over authenticity.

If you were raised in a home where emotional manipulation, mood swings, and emotional neglect were the norm, this episode will help you understand how these early wounds manifest as codependency, self-abandonment, and chronic anxiety in adulthood.

Lisa breaks down how children of emotionally immature parents learn to suppress their truth to survive—and how that programming carries over into relationships, careers, and the way we see ourselves.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • What a vulnerable narcissist is and how they condition children through emotional manipulation

  • How forced forgiveness becomes a form of control

  • Why emotional invalidation leads to codependent behaviors

  • How childhood trauma impacts the nervous system and self-worth

  • What it takes to begin healing and reclaiming your authentic self

This episode is for you if you:
  • Were raised by a parent who guilted or manipulated you emotionally

  • Feel responsible for others’ emotions or avoid conflict at all costs

  • Struggle with people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or fear of rejection

  • Are beginning to awaken to your own trauma history and want tools to heal
