To all ACONs:
I emailed Valerie Berenice Coles, Ph.D candidate from The University of Georgia to find out when the results of the survey about parental narcissism I posted about back in the winter would be published. I received this reply:
Hi Lauren,
Thank you so much for you email! I promise I have not forgotten about the report. After concluding the first study we received so many request from individuals that missed the study that we opened another study for those who missed the first one and are including those responses in the report (which WILL be sent out this summer). If you happen to have any readers who did not participate in the first study but are interested in getting involved (there is only 1 $100 gift card this time), the link is: https://ugeorgia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8cDgGItIiXqe3B3
This study will be up through June. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

So, for any ACONs who did not have a chance to participate in the first survey, which ended on February 28th, here is another chance to help out and possibly win a $100 gift card too.
The survey will only take about 15 minutes of your time but those 15 minutes will be invaluable in helping to find out more about this very important topic.
As I did the last time, I will be posting a link to the survey in the sidebar.
Again, here is the link to the second survey:

Also, as soon as the results are available from the first study, I’ll be posting them here.


LOL… love the picture of the N mother at the top of the page.

Yes. And the children are so spot-on. The last girl in line, Cinderella scapegoat — that was me, most of the time.

Interesting! Let me analyze all those kids, I’ll get back to you.

Okay, let’s see…
The green haired boy is obviously mommy’s GC and the most likely to become a narc, if he isn’t already. He’s even dressed up to impress. The little blue haired girl is next in line, and although not the GC she is used as an assistant flying monkey against the last two kids. The little black haired boy holding the book or slate isn’t the scapegoat–yet, but he’s next in line and terrified of becoming one. He’s very codependent as a result and will spend his life trying hard to please everyone. You can even tell by the expression on his face how much he wants to be approved of and wishes he was the GC. And of course the last little girl is the scapegoat/Cinderella, as you said. She’s even dressed in Cinderella like clothes! She’s the most likely to become a lifelong victim and the most likely to start an ACON blog! How’s that?
