When does sibling rivalry go too far? Here's why your instincts are telling you the truth about this toxic dynamic... Although an estimated 20 million people have severe narcissistic tendencies, many people have no idea how destructive narcissists can be to others. While some tendencies manifest as textbook patterns of abuse, for siblings and children of narcissists the experience can be much different. Has your sister always needed to remind your parents that she's the smartest child? Or is your brother intent on making you out to be the bad guy at every family event? Your parents may dismiss your concerns, but you know in your heart that family isn't supposed to tear you down and manipulate your feelings. Although it can be difficult to trust those feelings when nobody else seems to feel the same, you know your sibling best.
