“There is some good information to gather from this podcast but there is something that I think needs to be pointed out. The host, probably because of his own story, repeatedly says a core wound is a mother’s purposeful abusive triangulation of son in order to get revenge on an emotionally unavailable husband. That a verbally and emotionally abusive father isn’t as harmful as a mother who triangulates. That the father is only abusive to his son BECAUSE of his wife’s emotional attachment to her son. Why isn’t the host asking WHY the husband wasn’t emotionally available to his wife? If he was verbally and emotionally abusive to his children, than certainly it begs to reason he was equally or more so abusive to his wife. That’s the REAL root issue in the family dynamics. Some exploitation into narcissistic abuse should be had before making such hard as fast blanket statements about moms (who are more than likely bearing extensive abuse from the father). I’m a mom in this situation and I can take ownership for leaning on my children for emotional support but I didn’t NOT do so with any intention (it was subconsciously done) or malice. I truly didn’t even know I was doing it until the covert narcissistic abuse I had endured for 22 years was uncovered. Narcissistic people already blame their victims (which is how I missed the abuse for 22 years—because I readily absorbed all of the blame for everything. Literally everything) and to now listen to a podcast host say over and over that I’m the real abuser in the family and I’m to blame for my husband’s mistreatment of our children is absolutely wrong. All that being said, I have gained knowledge and help for my own healing via this podcast so I think a 4 start trying is deserved.”
