The narcissist is such a coward that they will even label their own emotionally neglected children with mental health issues rather than take accountability for their own unresolved issues.
Childhood abandonment doesn't just mean that parents were absent, it also means the emotional validation from parents was absent, especially if the parents were there physically.
Don't fool yourself, narcissistic abuse is always intentional. They know exactly what they are doing & choose to behave abuselively at selected times when no one else is around to see it.
The narcissist in a relationship won't accept that they are not able to fulfill your normal, human emotional needs, instead they will mock you & your needs.
DO NOT go to couples therapy with a partner who does the following:
- Blames you for their behavior
- Doesn't take self accountability
- Is not emotionally available
- Is different in public than they are in private
It is counterproductive and you WILL probably get burnt.
My ex was severely abusive & after 9 months of hell I got out, only to find myself in the thick of massive smear campaign, painting me as a thief, an abuser & a crooked person. That was just 4 years ago! You can move on & be happy after a relationship with an abusive person. 🙂
Trust me my friends, it is better to be single & lonely than to be in a relationship with someone who is emotionally neglectful, disrespectful, controlling, accusing & projecting their unhealed trauma onto you.

A real person welcomes the opportunity to resolve conflicts in a calm, understanding manner. The coward blames, stonewalls & gaslights.
Don't go to couples therapy if your partner has a pattern of dysfunctional behaviors in the relationship. It won't help & you will only be made to look like the problem in front of the therapist. You will leave feeling frustrated. Trust me.
