Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.
This topic may not apply to ALL children raised by narcissists, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was experienced by many. Speaking from personal experience, my narcissistic parents’ favourite hiding place was/is religion.
For them - all of them - religion becomes an instant crowd of approval, a dedicated rule book, a crutch, a “See! I told you so!” reference, a threat of hell or other repercussions and so on. Hiding behind religion isn’t an act of love or a kind of guidance. It’s basically a convenient hiding place for people who have a superiority or God complex (pun intended).
They may think they’re safe and won’t be found! Yeah right!
I see them! Oh, and God does too!
