Parents are supposed to love, nurture and instil good moral behaviour in their children. Our parents are the first people we interact with. We learn right from wrong, we are encouraged to share, along with practising good manners and respect.

But what if you were raised by manipulative parents? How would you spot the signs? Did you mistake manipulation for love? In hindsight now, as an adult, do you now wonder about your parents’ behaviour? Do you think the way your parents behaved has affected your personality?

So what does manipulation by parents look like? There are all kinds of manipulation; some can be intentional, and others link to personality disorders. 

For example, if one of your parents is a narcissist, they may live vicariously through your achievements. Others may suffer from low self-esteem and find it hard to allow you to be independent of them.

The point I want to make is that having manipulative parents is not always the parents’ fault. It can be for any manner of reasons, e.g., learned behaviour as they were growing up, or even abuse. 

For this article, I want to explore how parents manipulate their children.
