More Pieces of the Puzzle

A friend shared this one recently and while it is a quick read, it really hit home:

Why Narcissistic Parents Infantilize Their Adult Children

"Narcissistic parents do this because they see their child as an extension of themselves. If the child begins to realize this, the narcissistic parent will use guilt, control, fear and any other tactic they can think of to bring the child back into line. This is why many of them find the teenage years unbearable as their growing adolescent demands to be allowed more freedom and control over their own life--the very thing the narcissistic parent feels most threatened by."

Figured I would share it here, as well.
