I probably should’ve waited to make this video when I wasn’t so passionate and righteous about judging McKenzie’s parents. I was just so shocked at their lack of empathy concerning the victims and the victim’s families.
Yet, when I look at both parents eyes, I understand that they are so dysfunctional and emotionally unregulated that they can’t see beyond what’s happening to them. Immature, narcissistic parents can’t see beyond themselves. Also, narcissistic parents see their child as an extension of themselves. Not as an individual.
They saw McKenzie as perfect because Mackenzie represented them as parents, and in their delusional, narcissistic world, they were blameless and everyone else was responsible for the bad things that happened. Plus, if their daughter never did anything wrong, they never had to hold boundaries or do all that hard parenting stuff they were off the hook and they could just be her buddies.
I know people do better when they know better. I hope that this tragedy leads Steven and Natalie to seek help and work on healing themselves so they can help their daughter.
