A Parent Accused: Is He a Narcissistic and Abusive Father?

Overview

Parents Liz and Jim say their 16-year-old son, Nic, has a serious drug problem that has such a hold on him, they claim he even stole $75,000 in gold from his parents’ safe and spent it all on drugs! But, Liz says she is convinced that her husband is to blame. Liz accuses Jim of being a narcissist and misogynist, whose parenting philosophy is based on intimidation and abuse, and claims that is what drove their son to drugs. Jim denies Liz’s allegations, claiming she has gone to great lengths to paint him as a villain. He says she is the major problem, and calls her the world's lousiest parent and a doormat who helped enable Nic's deadly addictions.
