In the narcissistic family, a dynamic emerges where one child is favored as the 'golden child', while others may be cast as 'scapegoat' or 'lost child'. This arrangement upholds the narcissist's need for control, resulting in disrupted sibling bonds.
The roles within a narcissistic family are fluid; the scapegoat may become the golden child over time, depending on the whims and needs of the narcissistic parent. This shifting dynamic can create confusion and feelings of inadequacy among siblings.
