Narc Alert đŠâ¨One of the most painful tactics narcissists use is parental neglect + blame-shifting. Theyâll deliberately neglect their duties as a parent, missing important events, refusing to help with daily responsibilities, or showing zero emotional presence.
But when the children naturally pull away due to the neglect, the narcissist flips the script. Suddenly, youâre accused of âalienatingâ the kids or âturning them againstâ the other parent.
This is called projection: they deny their role in the damage and blame you instead. Itâs manipulative, confusing, and deeply unfair, but itâs also a pattern survivors need to recognise.
Remember:â¨đĄ A parent who truly loves their children always shows up.â¨đĄ Alienation isnât caused by truth, itâs caused by neglect, abuse, and broken trust.
If this resonates, youâre not alone.
Awareness is power. đ
