When public family drama is trending, it can hit close to home. If you grew up as (or are raising) a child with a parent who shows narcissistic traits, there are supportive steps you can take: validate feelings, set clear and consistent boundaries, avoid power struggles, keep routines predictable, document patterns, and loop in a licensed therapist or school counselor. If contact feels harmful, explore safety planning and limited contact.
