A good an important piece over @USATODAY by @CTrepany. This happens a lot in church contexts from both ministers and laity. Being able to spot these issues, appropriately call them out, and being willing to move on is important. This narcissism can exist to obscures abuse.

Adult narcissistic children create a unique sense of grief for their parents. Check out my thoughts on how this impacts parents and what to do about it in this new @USATODAY article by @CTrepany! #narcissisticabuseawareness #ifonlyidknownbook usatoday.com/story/life/heal…

Narcissists wreak havoc on their parents' lives. But cutting them off can feel impossible.

Every good parent wants their child to grow up into a well-adjusted adult — so it can be heartbreaking when their kid grows up into a narcissist.
