Emotional Covert Incest is Lifelong: Birth of Shared Fantasy

- Emotional or covert incest part of parentifying and adultifying (Atlas personality): succor but no sex, sexless intimate partnership
People-pleasing coupled with a constant sense of failure and inadequacy
Insecure attachment owing to enmeshment
Oedipus/electra complexes: The Oedipal and Electra complexes have two etiologies. Freud and Jung have identified only one of them: competition with the same sex parent for the love and attention of the other-sexed one. But there is an even more compelling source. Until age 18-24 months, the infant is both genderless and pansexual and consequently autoerotic. His libido is turned towards itself as a love object. But the infant is merged and fused with the mother throughout this period (symbiosis). They are one and the same. His narcissistic libido cathexes her as well! When he begins to separate from the mother, his narcissistic libido still remains invested in her residually - and this is the Oedipal complex.
Prevents separation-individuation: child’s needs ignored or suppressed, parent’s needs predominate, no boundaries, parent possessive and romantically jealous (no one is good enough and no one will ever be as good as I am)
Autoerotism owing to object relations with a forbidden object, later life sexual difficulties (need to objectify and dehumanize maternal figures in order to have sex - sadistic punishment - or sexual dysfunction and asexuality)
Is the primordial and prototypical shared fantasy
Mostly nonverbal, subverts communication by creating hidden, forbidden text
Effects much worse than sexual incest because it is not clearly wrong, it is disorienting role confusion: both parties habituate
Ambivalence

I'm Hispanic and it's painful to admit that this is a very common way of regarding children, especially among women. Relationships between couples tend to be turbulent (due to the man's own previous commitments to his family of origin), then the mother retreats to their children and takes over them, making them the center of her life, which is a "self sacrificial" gesture very valued in our culture. Phrases like "Men come and go, but this baby will never leave me" or "He is the true love of my life / the only man in my life" are used so often, to the point they're memes already.
That's why covert emotional incest is so taboo that you can't even talk about it in therapy. Most counselors are also parents (mothers) and they will likely try to minimize your experience in order to have a secure base themselves. It's so uncomfortable, yet almost impossible to proof that no one will believe you.
I believe you. I know because it happened to me. There’s a great book called “Silently Seduced.” Helped me a lot. I have actually not had trouble talking about it in therapy, though my counselor is white. I have seen some Latino/a counselors downplay trauma online. I think you are right. It’s self protection on their part. It’s also I think a fear of “pathologizing” Latin culture. But this happens in all cultures. It’s just the expression in each that is different, in my opinion. I wish you the best on your path to recovery.
It makes sense now why in so many different cultures men act more like man-child then real men...theres almost no masculinity left.. this comment help understand the world a lot better!👍
I believe you and agree with you
My therapist is African, a nun, and I openly talk about my trauma from narc mom and emotionally neglectful dad.
I'm also Hispanic and a survivor of covert emotional incest from narc mom. My other 2 sisters drink the Kool aid of delusion. I didn't go to mother's day and instead got dressed and celebrated mother's Day for myself, walked in the mountains, cried for my freedom and former scapegoat self, got myself an ice cream cone and enjoyed the day in peace and solitude. My mom sent me pics of herself and a meme. I had zero FOMO from their celebration pics. The same monkey dance and circus photo as a souvenir. I'll pass.
This is so disgusting. I wish Bill Gates will cause infertility globally.
I always felt so disgusted with my family growing up and I didn't know why. I felt there was something wrong with my parents, something that made me feel disgusted at the core. Something incestful was in the air but I never could pointed out because all ignored what was going on
This also really hits home. Yes it’s so non verbal and all the more confusing. It’s like an energy thing.
she used to say, " You are never going to find a mother like me"
My ex MIL used to say wait till you move out of the country and then you will miss me lolll the liesss intold her I wouldn't miss her
@@jasonkresock2196I was thinking same 😊
She was right, you only have one birth mother. 😅 She was tormenting you with the obvious.
My mother try to have sex with me multiple time still have nightmares.
@@productioninquiries881she staying to guilt him into doing what she wants, lol
Very insightful. My ex has bpd and severe addiction, emotional incest by his father they would ring each other up to ten times a day he was 32. No ability for sexual or emotional intimacy (sexual fantasies about smoking his mother was a heavy smoker) Saddest most disturbing thing I have ever come across is emotional incest.
my life story with my mother
Mine too.
What are some signs of this?
Same
Thank you professor. Again. You eloquently, brutally and factually have described the reasons behind my lifelong struggles with intimate partners. For a number of years, through the information you have shared here, I have an understanding of the family dynamics I grew up with. My father who most likely had NPD, my enmeshment and parentification and the codependency I internalized. And now I have another piece of the puzzle. I won't go into my history with him other to say on my wedding day he was still telling me I could change my mind and that I could stay with him forever. I felt a lot of anger towards him at some point in my life as I realized it was his parenting that created his dysfunctional children. My siblings all passed due to self destructive behavior. Never feeling good enough. My enmeshment with him was probably what saved me, not that I didn't abuse substances as well. But now having listened to you for years, I have nothing but love and intense sympathy for him. He was damaged beyond all repair by his mom. You can't give someone something you don't have.
I could have written this myself. Hugs
Now I understand why I have so much guilt and shame and obligation, why I can not meet their needs even though I am trying. And why I can not meet my needs. I aways felt strongly obliged to stay to my father and take care of his well-being. Every time I try to get independent he offers me something.
The sense of betrayal is so big!
It is very disturbing that I described that sense of guilt and obligation I feel to many therapist and no one explained me actually why I have it.
Pr Vaknin, you are reading my mind and feelings and you explain it even better that I realize it!!! I have always felt that my father will die without me, this is a responsibility I can not carry anymore!
I feel less crazy.
As a little girl, I was unwilling to play that nasty game with my mother after her divorce. She never stopped trying, even into my early adulthood. And yet, I replayed that dynamic in almost every relationship I had with men, including both of my marriages.
When I finally went to therapy, we did a free-form expression exercise where we would blurt out the first words that popped into our heads. My turn, I said, "I married my mother's penis!" I now see where that statement came from.
Still, in all, I WON! It's hard to reel me back in once I have shaken loose from the hook.
hope u are ok@@JineqeKurdKurd
Thank you! This is so true! After years of psychoanalysis, I am able to hear your message. I hope that I still have time to reverse/escape from that covert incest. So far, I have just begun to put some boundaries between me and my mother. She is not aware what she is doing. She is like a child...Your video helped me put together a lot of answers.
This is absolutely brilliant - I was always miffed why one of my clients for over 7 years now - vacillated between periods of lots of sex to none - and when he wasn’t having sex with an intimate partner even if still in the relationship- he would go to sex workers and seek online sources for self masturbation - when I asked why no sex now - he said he needs to be true to God… but once I unraveled the childhood , I am certain when his father left home at 2 years old and his mother went back to work he was parentified forced to be taking care of a 1 year old sister - no babysitter … and then the emotional incest was clear with an overly religious and absent mother - who he did indeed promise he would never marry anyone - how could he betray God ?
So many other factors in you videos match exactly this covert narcissist, who also becomes dynamically borderline if triggered … you nailed it right on the head prof Vaknin - what a mind you have to decider the most of complex cases in personality disorder - I’m without words at such genius - I hope furthering my studies of your perpetual classroom videos will help me to shed light for the loved ones of so many clients 🙏🥰❤️ appreciated ❣️
Listening to this stuff for a couple years now, and I think maybe your comment “she is like a child” is right on target. I feel that, in my family at least, immaturity was the issue. Mature behavior means emotional self-sufficiency. My mom-whom I loved, by the way-was never intentional about making careful, mature decisions. But they didn’t have these tools then either. Hoping things can be different for me and my kids.
That's explained a lot of my spouse "invisible shackle" to the mom.
This is so nauseating 🤢
It's real.
As always Prof., Vaknin provides the best insights into the NPD mind
My stomach ached when I saw this title. Today is also my mother's birthday, what a coincidence.
I always sense that it is something fishy in my relationship with my mother.
I had girlfriends but I always kept that for myself and never said a word about it. When my mother first saw me with a girl she was disappointed and I felt guilty like I did some type of crime.
I had many opportunities to be in a serious relationship but I always rejected it, my subconscious blocked me because that would be betrayal of my mother, like Sam explained. Fortunately, I heard about this 2 years ago and started reading about it. I confronted my mother and tried to explain this to her but she rejected any dialogue about this elephant in the room.
Now I realize that it was impossible for me to have a normal intimate relationship in the past.
Today I have a little bit of hope, this individuation can be done but it is not a negotiation, it must be done with understanding of yourself and that whole covert process.
It happens between siblings also. Lost a wife to her shared Peter Pan Syndrome brother. They wear pajamas, eat sweets, watch cartoons and play video games in their mid 30s while their parents work and pay the bills. Her devotion to him is all encompassing.
This has got to be the most terrifying and interesting video
Extraordinary.
Thank you so much for your search for truth , depth and involvement.
Such an eloquence, clairvoyance and objectivity in your words.
Thank you Sam
For all the knowledge you share with us.
Thank you very much, Prof. Vaknin!!! 😊
I've been listening to you Sam in the last week and your explanation of the "Shared Fantasy" has helped me to step away from the Narcissist in my life due to his sexual predatory behavior towards anyone or anything. At the beginning of the relationship he triggered a lot of jealousy within me as he flirted with our co-workers but there was a more psychopathic strategy at play. I think he is confused with his sexuality and therefore has an attachment to dark sexual fantasies without a lack of remorse. On the other hand I've been constantly trying to get him (mummy) to "see me" and commit wholeheartedly to the relationship, but he hasn't, his secret sexual preferences have consistently taken over. I've been forced to walk away and stop my "repetition compulsion" behaviour in order to get mummy's attention to stay in the enmeshed shared fantasy. It has been a painful experience trying to extricate myself from this but in order to save myself I have to let him go and individuate from him, (mummy). Thank you for this amazing confirmation.
Is it possible to experience emotional incest from siblings? My sister is 10 years older than me and she’s told me that she’s had to become a parent to me and my other brothers. Lately I’ve felt abused by her because of how much over sharing she’s done with me since I was very young. I felt my voice was silenced and felt like an emotional support pet to her. Over the years I’ve said things to her like I feel like I feel like a punching bag, I feel she transfers her anxieties onto me. Other things she’s said is she doesnt know if she could go on living if I were to die, if she ever dies and she has children she wants her children to go to me, and she can see us living together( when she was well into her 40s), and asking me if I’ll be the one to wipe her butt when she’s elderly. It’s not until recently that I felt manipulated when I noticed she was not receptive to me saying no to her venting excessively to me. I accused her of being manipulative because I felt I’ve given so much of myself and time to supporting her emotionally and on 2 occasions she cried because I wasn’t giving her a special kind of support she wanted from me.
It is possible.
I'm only 15 minutes in and my blood is boiling. I've been saying these things for the past 20 years, told my parents countless times that I am basically my mother's therapist/big sister since I was 4. I was just a teen when I told her that she took my life away right after giving it to me, even heard a voice telling me to kill her once. Went to the hospital at the age of 31 as I was very suicidal and in 5 minutes the psychiatrist came up with this same conclusion. A lifetime of no connections, no intimacy, no sex, just my mother's depression that I absorbed, loneliness and blind wrath. I am livid for betraying myself, for not listening to myself and my instinct and for refusing help all this time. Is there any chance to overcome this bs or is one doomed for life?
Got to the end... Wow the end killed me, what the fuck even is the point of living then.
SO sorry to hear this! Go no contact and start breathing, daily meditation, journaling focus on YOU in every way possible. That is what I´m doing. Sending you love and support!
Become your own parent. You are aware and intelligent, you can do this
I’m literally in the exact same boat as you. It’s doesn’t seem like a point to live since we will destroy ourselves and other people anyway because of what happened to us. I’m pretty sure he called us narcissists at the end as well which really sucks. I feel like we are doomed for life. We are forced to stay out of relationships because we can’t properly function in them. We are forced to be alone. I’m so fucked from this I have no idea what to think.
Same
I know. Okay, I appreciate the clarity that Dr. Vaknin gives us. But then he ends the video by offering no hope, no help, or no solutions. He’s basically saying we’re fucked for life and that’s it. What the hell man?! I’m gonna be going to God in prayer about this. I went no contact with my mom about 4 years ago, but I can still feel that bitch’s emotional claws buried into my soul.
Brilliant as always
Thank you for this video! I met this video at right time.
Thank you so much. You make so much sense of peoples experiences.
Amazingly correct. Genius!
jesus, I afraid this is precisely why I can never be in a healthy relationship, no matter how badly I want it ..
I hear you man. I wish Dr. Vaknin provided a solution. He just ends the video by saying it’s lifelong, like there’s nothing we can do to heal ourselves if we’ve been a victim of emotional incest. Are we screwed for life? Is there not anything we can do to break free? I’m gonna be praying to God tonight about this.
I agree, he said it like it was unfixable. No solutions. Sounds as sad as hell@@richoka
That's why I'm taking this to God. However, one good thing I got from this video is the CLARITY about what happened to me. And the aleviation of guilt for going no contact with my mom. My goodness, the guilty feelings can be so crippling man. Your abuser will do anything to possess you and control you. @@trevnextgen
I’m confused. What about girls enmeshed with their mother’s. I have always referred to myself as my mother’s lesbian lover/husband substitute.
Maybe it is time to watch the video.
@@samvakninI am 19 what should l do to solve this
@9mma32 look within yourself and yoir experiences as you listen to any videos
you got this sweetie. find what you love in life. open your mind to yourself
Jesus is pretty cool too
Aka Enmeshment, Dr.Ken Adams also has written two books about this and Dr. Patricia Love
I am terrified now😢 my 10 yo son told me the other day that when he was younger, he thought he is a girl. I admit I might have been a bit closer than usual, I thought I was compensating his father's emotional absence😢
he wants to hug me all the time. I swear I didn't abuse him, I am aware of that, I want him to be a good partner in the future not an abuser, what do I do to help him 😭
Get him involved with boys his own age and vet the adults they are around
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but you might have said to yourself you were compensating him (a good excuse to hide your knowledge that something was wrong with your behaviour), when in reality you wanted him to compensate _you_ and soothe you for your lack of a partner.
Set clear boundaries and get him involved in activities with boys and girls his age. I hear your panic, my boy is overly attached to me too.
Sounds like the damage is already done. You won’t be able to explain it to him without destroying him and pushing him away. This is what usually happens to single mothers and there children.
Bit of comfort here... I have 3 sons. At the age of 10 or around that, they got extra clingy. Hugs every day, all day didn't want to let go, more emotional etc.
And then nothing.. don't even touch them ha. Like I mean brushing something off their sleeve was annoying so I backed off ...no worries..you need your space.
I realised when the 2nd one was going through that same clingy phase that that's all it was, a phase ... just before they pull away in time for puberty, as they should.
Give him his hugs, let him let go first and enjoy them because pretty soon, he will want his natural distance from you. And you'll miss him but you'll have to respect his boundaries
My mother did this to me, and her 3 oldest daughters too, so for me it was 3 times as worse. The correct word is witchcraft. They hate men and want men to suffer..
No, they just love themselves and want to feel desired by even their own children/siblings. Unfortunately our suffering is the number 1 outcome
Yes there is malice behind this behavior. Very selfish
For the past two days I have stumbled across this phenomenan and its heartbreaking to realize my whole life has been a lie and that the person I have dedicated my sucess too is my archetype for an abuser....the reason I have so many psychological problems , almost all of which you listed.... And on top of all of that they were a substance abuser and I was also exposed to that world aswell... Substance abuse problems I assume do fall under mental health problems...
And why I acn not have sex with the person I love , but continue to have sexual/romantic fantasies and nightmares about my abuser ex boyfriends... Its absolutely devastating... and the thing you mentioned about taboo sex... man that hit home so much about what makes me aroused and how much it horrofies me
This is the most complete video on this topic I have seen so far..
Thank you for this video. My mother is very very enmeshed with me. She was a single mom for a lot of my life (from when i was age 7 onward).
💥As a recovering Trophy Child, this is spot on accurate‼️ It's a double whammy when the parent(s) guilty of this violation is/are the same one(s) who try to ridicule and even punish the target for the same damage they caused to begin with, and throw a phrase over it proclaiming "We're trying to help you!"
🤔💭..........Ummmmm.......😃No Thanks👍‼️
🤬 And let's not even start on the confusion of being put on a pedestal and parentified/adultified as a youth. The parent figures begin acting like children trying to get away with something they aren't supposed to be doing in the fist place‼️
🤬 It's like......🤔💭.....🤨Huh❓ It's like the parents are inquiring information from the child that the child is supposed to be getting from the parents, just to be set up for a gaslight and have that same information parroted back to them as if it originally came from the parents to begin with‼️ It's like, I QUIT‼️
That's my first comment after many videos I saw. I'm very impressed with this one. I felt very interested in and uncomfortable at the same time. Not related to me but to people I know well. Still considering: could this be the case of that person? Never know for sure. Thanks for your insightful video. From Brazil 🇧🇷
First I want to say your content is fantastic and I thank you for all you do for us all. But their doesn’t seem like a point to live since we will destroy ourselves and other people anyway because of what happened to us. Everything you just said I have been through. I’m destroyed. And I’m pretty sure you called us narcissists at the end as well which really sucks. I feel like we are doomed for life. We are forced to stay out of relationships because we can’t properly function in them. We are forced to be alone. I’m so fucked from this I have no idea what to think.
Now I thank God my mother didn’t like me and my father was not around. It’s better than this. Sadly.
I wish I was in the same boat
This is life changing information. Thank you Prof. SV. Can I please share this presentation with the link?
You don’t need anyone’s permission to share links.
@@samvaknin ok thank you Professor
55:14 You can see something resembling this dynamic in the movie The Phantom Thread.
Dr. Vaknin, the uncanny ability that you have in consistently uploading videos that crack the code for me within ongoing personal issues would have had me believing in your omniscient all-knowing presence, had I not been familiar with your previous lectures on ideas of reference.
I could not help but draw many similarities between this phenomenon of covert emotional incest and your paper on the Inverted Narcissist.
Both rejection and collusion in the initial Mother - child shared fantasy leads to a life by the latter that is plagued by secondary narcissism. I apologize if I seem to be connecting dots between two unrelated issues; does the ambient confusion of covert emotional incest that you describe work to undermine the primal narcissistic defenses that the vast majority of people have even as children?
As well, the child exposed to covert emotional incest seems completely unwilling to betray Mother. In your work on the Inverted Narcissist, there is a brief mention of the possibility in finding a faithful rendition of the IN’s narcissistic primary object. Would this scenario (wherein an inverted narcissist meets a significant other that adheres to the model of the internal object representing Mother) offer an opportunity for the victim of covert emotional incest to explore feelings of intimacy and sexuality?
Thank you for your work, I look forward to your notifications daily
Grieving and letting go of the guilt can help get free
The most precious 57:56 minutes of my whole life.
Thank you for your insights & explanations of all these difficult topics. I do appreciate it very much, but sometimes I'm left wondering if there's any way (despite my sincere efforts) to prevent myself from inadvertently damaging my own child, since I am damaged, my parents were damaged, their parents were damaged, etc.
I try my best to not repeat how I was raised in any manner, & allow my child to be herself. I really try to avoid laying my baggage at her feet, while still being honest about adults not always being perfect, when I make mistakes. When I don't know how to proceed, I admit it & sometimes we as a family figure things out together, but now I'm hoping in doing so, I haven't parentified her simply because I have difficulty making decisions for myriad reasons, which could take volumes to discuss, lol.
It seems like there is a very narrow path when it comes to escaping one's childhood unscathed & mentally sound. I wasn't successful at it myself, I'd like to give her the best chance possible. Is it possible? I hope so.
Dear heart, you are doing exactly what you should do... being human, being honest, and being a good leader... the horse before the cart. I assume you share your adult concerns with adult friends, family, and perhaps a good therapist.
You are just fine, my friend!
@@samaralaliaabzu2837 Thank you. I hope that turns out to be true in retrospect. 💜
I have a supportive husband & a couple good friends. I think my therapist days are over. I had a few over the years. More than one was completely dismissive of abuse. The others were not as condescending, but were easily manipulated into believing I was "better." (Let's just say I learned my lessons well as a child about how to tell people what they wanted to hear, when necessary.)
Not many have the desire or the ability to discuss mental health issues to the degree that it is presented here, which is why I keep trying to digest it, but sometimes I get easily overwhelmed, not just here, but in general, lol. 💜
The fact that you think about it and you're trying to make sure you get it right is the key. You're doing a good job just by thinking about trying to do better than your parents. My oldest is 14, and it was just me and her for a long time. We're super close but hopefully not so close it holds her back in relationships etc.
Her dad and his mother are definitely in some incestuous scenario. That's why I'm watching this video. 😂
Anyhow keep up the good work
@@TheTinydancer9000 😂Thank you. On we go as best we can... 🤔
@@KellenAdair Thanks. I hope so. Time will tell...
If not, it is not for lack of effort, which scares me, as my own narcissistic mother, I can see now, put a great deal of effort into orchestrating what she perceived to be a perfect family in a perfect protected bubble, which was merely a disguise for being trapped in a dysfunctional familial psychological hellscape.
Sorry. I didn't intend to reply to your supportive comment with my personal angst, lol. But we've just returned from visiting my mother for Thanksgiving, that time of year where she pretends our family is like a Norman Rockwell painting, but none of the participants are willing to perpetuate the myth any longer. The cracks in the facade have widened into gaps which are held together by false niceties & glued with the Thanksgiving gravy. Exhausting.
the description reminds me of the movie Beau is Afraid
So interesting
It was "SO much truth". Sorry, typo. I got feeling a little shy and deleted my comment yesterday. It was all the talk about s-e-x!
Nice to know you're there reading. : ) I did get through the whole video. The more I learn, the more things fall into place. I have been feeling quite schizoid myself lately, kinda comforting to know that that is a normal stage.
Yes. I am a daughter who suffered this with my mother. So few resources are available.
Especially for daughters of mothers/same sex... Not daughters of fathers. It's frustrating
This is me
Holly shit balls 😳
It's all making sense.
Thank you so much. I am so grateful to you. You helped so many people.
Does this make things more complicated when one or both parent/child have a mental illness?
Emotional incest often stems from parental mental health issues.
How does one define this? Does it have degrees? I suspect I may suffer from this based on research I have done...
This certainly answers a lot of questions about my ex
Thanks Sam for your insight! Is it possible that this dynamic can also occur in some way between a man and his older sister (6 years age difference)…🧐
Yes.
@@samvakninI think this is the case with someone close to me
Very close to mother and much older sister. .both died in the last few years and he has just become a stranger to me.
I think the sister was also too close to the mother, she died 2 years after the mother did. Complete responsibility for the mother since young, never married or had her own kids.
The brother, as far as I see, has just lost his whole identity with both of them gone. It's not normal grief.
I'm wondering how these emotionally incestuous parents treat their grandchildren? Do they continue the perverted relationship? Do they see their grandchildren as their children?
Can you do a video how to properly separate individuate for your children?
Search the from child to narcissist playlist.
My family dynamics is a real life case study that’s proves this.
This may sound out of topic but this perfectly describes Beau is Afriad. Ari Aster makes allot of films regarding the human condition

How do you deal with a Sister-In-Law that was her mother's surrogate spouse for almost 20 years and now that her mother is dead, is trying to make your wife (her sister) her surrogate spouse?
I also want to ask a question, is autoerotism a must as a defense in emotional incest? As a young child to teen I did partake but always with extreme guilt to tthe point where I no longer partake in any kind of sex (asexuality)
Most asexuality is autoerotic (for example: involves masturbation or masturbatory fantasies or dreams).
@@samvaknin Ah... I do not partake in masturbation , but to an anorexic point where I am disgusted by the act. BUT out of all this sexual repression I have wet dreams all of the time and find myself engaging in autoerotism while asleep
I have a question .. why would his mother tell him that she done his daughters hair in pigtails braids bcuz she knows how much he likes them .. he likes them sexually and his mother tries to control him in everything.. we got into a fight and she told him to go home and have sex w me .. who talks like that ? his family is very open sexually and he slept w his parents until he was 12 and him and his brother both hate her but yet they both won’t leave her either .. he left me and moved right back in w his parents
Omg that is horrific. I hope you and your daughter heal from this 💔
@@gangstalkingboglims8752 it’s just his daughter not mine and she won’t have anything to do w a man sexually.. and she married to a women and I’m out of the the horror mess … I’m just waiting for that divorce he promised since I’m such a adulterer that he claims .. I didn’t cheat I was to much in love w him
When abusive household and the mother sleeps with a daughter crying on her shoulder until she is like 8, is it also incest?
Is it possible to individuate ? Can you give steps on how to?
Search the NA healing and recovery playlist.
Could this be happening to an adult child from both parents? And could this child be benefiting in a way from the parents attention?
Covert incest continuous and also after the death of the mother?
Yes.
You didn't elaborate on when it is between son and father
Same dynamic. Watch the video on daddy issues.
While terminology is being applied to it, I have always known that the behaviors exhibited by my parents, particularly my mother, with whom we lived for the great majority of our lives, wasn't right. In fact, I would define it as crippling. I clearly see its impact upon my two siblings and my sister's 4 child who my mother raised.
Me? I went into the military and have lived my on life since then. Of course, my mother still attempted to corral me while I was be back for almost 5 years, but I didn't allow it and eventually movef back to Tennessee where life is better and more peaceful. All is well and better without them. Family or not, it's the truth.
I went through this with my mother. I am 45 and am trying to find my comfort zone with women. I recently started visiting sex workers as a way to explore myself. Is this healthy or unhealthy?
You’re asking if banging hookers is unhealthy?
Does this most often happen to the golden child ??
Yes.
I'd like to hear more about the scientific methods and research details used in order to achieve those eye-openning conclusions.
How often does this occur?
No statistics are available.
Eyes always closed during sexual relations is that another way to avoid intimacy?
Yes.
So does therapy work for this or?
It does.
@@samvaknin Can you please make a video which therapy and how?
Professor Vaknin, how do you get a female covert narcissist to end a relationship (marriage)?
Try divorcing or breaking up with her.
How common is it?
We don’t know. It is way more common in incestuous cultures such as Italy’s.
I’m Italian and I lived this, thanks for the video 🙏🏼😭 why this happens more in Italy? I didn’t know…
i fear this was the case with Sinead and her So(u)n. if only she had seen Vaknin in private not Dr Phool on tv....doing my darndest to let "mine" Be....
Can this being homo sexual may be a way of not having sex with a mommy?
Search the channel. Homosexuality is biological.
I urge you to look up Joseph Nicolossi if you would like to see a different perspective on how homosexuality is formed based on this unhealthy childhood dynamic. At its core homosexuality in men is related to a man’s sense of masculinity being inferior to that of other men.
Can this occur between father and son?
Maybe it is time to watch the video.
I watched and read the transcript, just now. I only ask because my ex's 15 year old son would come over every 2 weeks to spend time with him. It aways made me feel uncomfortable because he (the son) was constantly kissing his arms, holding his hand, playing with his hair, when we'd watch movies on the couch he'd grab his father's arm and put it between his legs as if hugging his arm...and so much more. I always felt like my ex should have set boundaries, especially with his son being in High School. I never said anything because it wasn't my place, but it made my stomach turn.
Hänschen klein :)
Disgusting.😢
Thank you from Italy, from a girl who lived this horrible thing. 🤍
My psychotic narcissistic ex told me once that he saw his narcissistic mother just staring intently at his'man-hood' that was hanging out a little of his very short shorts (he was wearning my shorts at the time🚩) and his reaction to her was - "well thats between you and God" - I realized there and then the extent to what I was dealing with...its both shocking and sickening the relationship between those two🫢🤢😳...that woman hated me the second she saw for the first time - before even the greets and introductions - that hatred grew every second of every day - wish I knew at 27 what I know now at 40 - went through absolute hell with those two...
Ay Dios ! Qué horror crecer con estas personas como padres
Y que lo digas... en mi caso desde mi madre hasta mi hermana 🤮 te juro que no puedo tener nada con mujeres sin ser bdsm del asco que me quedó dentro 😂😂 y por lo normal simplemente evito el sexo, prefiero ser asexual antes que eso 🤢
