Here’s how narcissists undermine their kids, including the golden child.

1. Alienate Their Relationships. Narcissistic parents engage in ongoing comparison, triangulation, and smear campaigns to alienate their children’s relationships with the other parent, siblings, extended family, and social circle. With adult children, narcissistic parents may attempt to alienate their kids from their own children and spouse. 
2. Gaslight Their Sense of Reality. Gaslighting takes many forms, but the purpose is to undermine other people’s perceptions through lies and distortions. Narcissistic parents gaslight their kids to diminish their children’s confidence and control what they think and feel.
