The same is true if you want me to take “narcissistic abuse” seriously.
If someone was abusive because of a mental illness, they wouldn’t be surrounded by people cheering them on. They’d be surrounded by people wondering what the fuck is wrong with them.
Every type of abuse you can think of is considered normal for parents to inflict on their children under some circumstances. So if you want to stop parents from abusing their children, you need to dismantle the power that parents have, not scapegoat mental illness.
