The Narcissistic Family - Growing up in a Cult

In this video Darren Magee discusses the dynamics of being raised in a narcissistic family and likens it to growing up in a cult. Looking at the family dynamics, roles people play. Roles children play in the family dynamics, parents living vicariously through the children
abuse cycle, triangulation and narcissistic mistreatment..

What makes it like a cult?
Narcissistic Father - Patriarch (Worshipful Master)
Narcissistic Mother - Matriarch (She who must be Obeyed)

Worship of parent, loyalty out of fear, co-dependancy, no boundaries.
False image of perfect home life presented to the world - no one must really know what's going on.
Rules must be obeyed

Maladaptive coping strategies continue into adulthood, but can struggle to recognise what is really wrong.

Can children of narcissists be helped?
