The Comparison Tactic Used by Narcissistic parents for control. Narcissist have many tactics that they use to manipulate, belittle, devalue, and use for their benefit. I want to talk about how and why the Narcs use comparison against their child, in hopes that by understanding it, it will help us to move past it. In narcissistic families, the roles become reversed, the focus and attention is put on the narcissistic parent instead of on their children and these children are expected to meet the needs of the parent. There are a couple different reasons and ways the narcissist parent benefits from using comparison as a weapon against the child. Using comparison in situations can be extremely damaging.
