The Curse Of Being The Golden Child

Still think the Golden Child has it easy? Think again

There is no safe role for a child to play in a family where one or both parents are narcissists. No one comes out unscathed.

“The Golden Child wishes, as we all do, to be seen and accepted for itself; to have its faults and frailties forgiven and acknowledged, rather than denied or glossed over. It is in the end as much of an insult to one’s authentic reality — and as psychologically painful — to be praised for great things one hasn’t done and could never do, as to be attacked and blamed for sins one is innocent of.” — Alaine de Botton
