How to Know If My Parent Is a Narcissist: Signs You Were Raised by Narcissistic Caregivers If you've ever found yourself asking, "Was this normal?" or "Why do I still struggle even though I'm an adult?" —this episode is for you. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the subtle and often misunderstood signs of narcissistic parenting, and how being raised by a narcissistic, emotionally neglectful, or emotionally immature parent can shape your nervous system, self-concept, and relationships well into adulthood.
