Predatory parents don’t “accidentally” create chaos — they use coercive control, narcissistic traits, and manipulation to pull everyone into their narrative, including our children. These patterns are intentional: grandiosity, victimhood, false empathy, DARVO, and the constant recruiting of others to reinforce their story.
