Recognizing the Signs of a Narcissistic Father and Finding Healing

Growing up with a narcissistic father can leave deep emotional marks that often go unnoticed. You might find yourself constantly seeking approval, feeling unworthy, or doubting your own feelings. These patterns can follow you into adulthood, shaping your relationships and self-image. I remember being 15 and feeling invisible at home, my achievements brushed aside while my father’s needs always came first. It took years to realize that his behavior wasn’t my fault. Healing started when I learned to set boundaries and seek support from people who truly cared. If you see yourself in these experiences, know that you’re not alone. Healing is possible—start by acknowledging your feelings, reaching out for help, and giving yourself permission to grow beyond your past. Have you experienced something similar?
