Today I’m talking about the family dynamics of narcissistic abuse, and the different roles that occur within a family. In particular, I want to talk about the scapegoat within the family when you have a narcissistic parent.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

• What is a scapegoat?
• Why narcissistic mothers are particularly harmful to a child
• The examples of scapegoating within a family
• How scapegoating affects a child’s beliefs about themselves
• Why narcissistic personality disorder cannot be cured
• How you can heal your children by healing your own codependency

I'm a big believer that when you heal yourself you heal the next generation. So just because your children have a parent that is a narcissist does not mean that they will be a codependent or a narcissist. You can break the cycle of scapegoating, you can heal, and the reason I know that is because that's exactly what I did.
