Not all child abusers are narcissists, but all narcissistic parents abuse their children. They cannot not abuse them, for it is the nature of narcissists to see others, including their own children, as sources of ego gratification—otherwise known as “narcissistic supply”—regardless of the consequence to those suppliers. Growing up under the rule of a narcissistic parent, especially a malignant narcissist, is a terrifying, emotionally agonizing, spiritually impoverishing experience. Lisette, of the blog House of Mirrors, describes what it is like to be in a relationship with a narcissist: . • Being rejected and denied value as a person . • Being degraded and having your self-worth and dignity as a person degraded . • Being exploited and used for the narcissist’s profit or advantage . • Being terrorized by intimidation, control, coercion, and stalking . • Being denied care, affection, and attention of any kind . • Being dismissed, humiliated, manipulated, and belittled . • Being violated by pathological envy, greed, and entitlement . • Being plundered, pillaged and systematically destroyed Narcissistic abuse tears at a person’s self-worth and manifests in social withdrawal, anxiety, fearfulness, depression, self-blame and self-destructive behavior. It results in feelings of guilt, shame, inadequacy and powerlessness."
