Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse Narcissists don’t attack you because you’re weak, they attack you because you’re strong and have all the qualities they don’t

The scapegoat child usually starts off perfectly healthy — full of potential, resilience, and their own personality. But the narcissistic parent cannot tolerate that because it threatens their fragile ego and false narrative of superiority. So they begin a cycle of systematic stress and sabotage: —Constant criticism, arguing, shaming —Sleep disruption, manufactured chaos, and emotional whiplash. —Isolating the child from support, so no one can validate their experience. —Gaslighting and projection, making the child feel like they’re “the problem.” Over time, the child develops complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related struggles — not because they were flawed, but because they were ABUSED INTO THAT STATE. Then, in a sick twist, the narcissist uses the very trauma they caused as “evidence” that the child is lazy, defective, problematic, or broken. But the truth is the scapegoat is carrying wounds inflicted by their own parents. It’s a form of character assassination through manufactured suffering, and it’s one of the most disgusting betrayals imaginable. A child’s struggles aren’t a sign of weakness — they’re a scar map of how much abuse they’ve endured.
