“Mirror, mirror on the wall. Unveil the hidden epidemic, reflect them all.”
This series will explore the dysfunctional dynamics of the broken prism in narcissistic families and how this dynamic perpetuates toxicity, shaping a person's characteristics, and physical, social, emotional, and mental health.
Narcissism is a self-centred personality style characterized as having an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs, often at the expense of others.
— Wikipedia (source)
Narcissists are often self-absorbed and preoccupied with a need
to achieve the perfect image (recognition, status, or being envied)
and have little or no capacity for listening, caring, or understanding
the needs of others.

There are five main roles in a narcissistic family, but in this series, we will only delve into the three main characters: the scapegoat, the golden child, and the invisible child.
