In today's video, let's look at how the scapegoat child overrides their instinct to flee a narcissistic parent.

The child does this by caring more about what the parent thinks of them than what the child thinks of themselves. I will describe how this strategy helps the child survive.

As adaptive as the strategy is, it later robs the scapegoat survivor of living their lives in the first person. Last, we'll discuss a way to learn that relationships no longer require you to adopt the other's mind as your own.
