But unlike an omnipotent god or goddess who reigns free and unencumbered, this child is her possession. So she elevates this perfect specimen that she created to a level of omnipotence higher than her own. If the parent finds fault with the child, a perfect reflection of her own self-image, that would have to mean that something is wrong with her. This child is chosen specifically for exploitation. He is either physically beautiful or has a talent that the parent finds impressive something that gives her bragging rights. This child represents the parentвЂ™s perfect image of herself. He is the parentвЂ™s вЂњchosen one.вЂќ The golden child is seen as an extension of the narcissistic parent. Initially one child is given the role of golden child. The three roles given in narcissistic families are: вЂњgolden child,вЂќ вЂњscapegoatвЂќ and вЂњlost/invisible child.вЂќ If there is only one child in the family, he or she may have to play more than one role. Only one child can be favored at a time, but the roles can be reassigned or switched at the parentвЂ™s will. When there is more than one child in a family, narcissistic parents assign each of them different roles. Though there has been much written about the roles of children in narcissistic families, few understand the lifetime burdens these roles place on children, and the scars they leave.
