Do Narcissists Love Their Own Children?

No, let me explain. Narcissists don’t love anyone including their own children, When it comes to their children, It becomes literally a case of I made you so I own you. A narcissist’s children are not their children, they are their slaves, they are not even people they are objects or pets on the best days. A Narcissist’s children are born to serve them, to be of use to them. If they have several children, a narcissist will often assign roles to them, one child might end up being the golden child the one who is constantly praised, while the others are denigrated and unfavorably compared, but make no mistake there’s no love whatsoever in this, there’s only manipulation. A golden child isn’t acknowledged as a child to begin with as a person; they are only a tool in their narcissistic parent’s toolbox, like all their siblings. Despite all this you can expect the narcissistic parent to act like the most loving and devoted parent ever. They will make passionate claims about loving their children more than anything, being willing to do anything for them and wanting nothing but their happiness. They will go on and on about how much they care and how devoted they are creating a convincing impression of perfect parenthood. It’s all a facade, but they are so good at pretending that almost everyone believes them including quite often their own children who will deny their own pain and twist their minds to invent excuses for their parent’s behavior. It is painful to realize that your own parents don’t love you and have never loved you, but it also feels really freeing.
