Please let’s not jump to negative stereotypes! We have no way of knowing what’s going on within families. It could be that these parents (not just mothers!) have been convinced by their child’s therapist that they must be “affirming” otherwise their child will commit suicide. They may be deluded but not as you imply uneducated narcissists. My ire is directed towards the mental health industry. As a society we must do better.
