Introduction – Jab Pyaar Ka Bahana Ban Jata Hai Control Ka Zariya
Narcissistic family dynamics mein “Golden Child” ek aisi position hoti hai jo baahar se dekhe to perfect lagti hai – izzat, attention, pyaar, sab kuch milta hai. Lekin andar ki sachchai kuch aur hi hoti hai. Golden Child hona kabhi-kabhi ek trap hota hai jisme narcissistic parent apne ego ko fulfill karta hai, aur ek insaan ki asli individuality dheere-dheere khatam ho jaati hai.
Golden Child Kya Hota Hai?
Golden Child vo hota hai jo narcissistic parent ke nazar mein “perfect” banaya jata hai. Unka kaam hota hai parent ke sapno, ego, aur unke unmet desires ko poora karna. Ye bacha aksar dusre siblings (jaise scapegoat ya invisible child) ke comparison mein favoritism ka shikaar hota hai. Is child se expectation hoti hai ki vo kabhi parent ko disappoint na kare, unka “reflection” ban ke rahe.
Parent usko unconditional love nahi deta, balki conditional love deta hai – “tum tabhi acche ho jab meri baat mano”, “tum tabhi pyare ho jab tum meri tarah socho”. Ye ek emotional manipulation ka classic example hai.
Aksar Golden Child ko yeh lagta hai ki uska asli self, emotions, ya identity utni zaroori nahi hai. Usse sirf perform karne, impress karne aur “role” nibhane ki training milti hai. Aur jab kabhi vo apna alag opinion rakhta hai, narcissistic parent emotional guilt, silent treatment, ya anger se usko punish karta hai.

Kaise Banta Hai Golden Child – Conditioning Ka Khel
Ye process ek psychological conditioning hoti hai. Jab bachpan mein ek narcissistic parent kisi ek bache ko idealize karta hai, to vo gradually uske upar expectations ka bojh daalna shuru karta hai. “Tum sabse best ho,” “Tum meri aankhon ka tara ho,” jaisi baatein superficially sweet lagti hain, lekin asli intention hoti hai: control.
Parent apne trauma, insecurity ya unmet needs ko fulfill karne ke liye Golden Child ko use karta hai. Ye ek emotional exploitation hota hai jiska shikar bacha khud samajh bhi nahi pata. Vo samajhta hai ki vo truly loved hai, lekin vo love sirf tab tak hota hai jab tak vo parent ke standards pe khada utarta hai.
Golden Child ko aksar toxic perfectionism sikhaya jata hai. Galti karne ka darr itna zyada hota hai ki vo apne emotions ko dabakar ek “ideal” persona banata hai. Vo apne andar ke fear, confusion, ya guilt ko kabhi openly express nahi karta kyunki use rejection ka khauf hota hai.

Golden Child ki Identity Crisis
Ek samay aata hai jab Golden Child ko andruni conflict feel hone lagta hai. Uska asli self aur usse jo banne ko kaha gaya hai – dono ke beech mein clash hota hai. Vo confuse hota hai ki vo kaun hai? Uske emotions uske apne hain ya uspar thope gaye hain?
Is confusion ke kaaran anxiety, depression, aur self-worth ka crisis develop ho sakta hai. Bahar se log use lucky samajhte hain, lekin andar se vo emotionally numb ya exhausted feel karta hai. Kyunki usne kabhi apne emotions ko fully live nahi kiya.
Golden Child jab adult hota hai to aksar usme yeh patterns develop hote hain:
- Approval-seeking behavior
- Boundaries set karne mein dikkat
- Guilt jab bhi vo parent ke khilaaf kuch soche
- Overachieving ya burnout
- Toxic relationships mein fasa rehna
Usko lagta hai ki uski value sirf uski achievements, looks, ya parent ko impress karne se hai – na ki uske hone se.
Narcissistic Parent Ka Manipulation Pattern
Narcissistic parent Golden Child ko ek puppet ki tarah treat karta hai. Har decision mein, har emotion mein, parent ka indirect ya direct control hota hai. Kabhi-kabhi yeh parent overly loving dikhega – “Mera beta/beti to sabse best hai” – lekin andar se vo child ki autonomy ko slowly destroy karta hai.
Parent Golden Child ke zariye apni image build karta hai. Jaise agar parent ko lagta hai ki vo successful nahi raha, to vo child ko ek superstar banana chahta hai. “Mera beta doctor banna chahiye,” “Meri beti sabse sundar lagni chahiye” – yeh sab unki projection hai.
Aur jab Golden Child unki expectation par khada nahi utarta, to shaming, silent treatment, ya comparison (e.g., “Dusre logon ke bachhe aise nahi karte”) shuru ho jata hai.
Ye pattern lifetime tak chal sakta hai – adult hone ke baad bhi parent usse apna therapist, caretaker, ya emotional sponge bana ke rakhta hai.
Golden Child Ka Healing Process
Healing tabhi shuru hoti hai jab Golden Child yeh realize karta hai ki uska role uska asli self nahi tha. Apne andar ke pain ko pehchanana aur uske baare mein baat karna healing ka pehla kadam hai. Ye journey painful ho sakti hai kyunki isme un beliefs ko todna padta hai jo usne bachpan se sikh rakhe the.
Kuch important healing tools:
- Journaling: Apne real emotions ko likhna aur unka pattern samajhna
- Therapy: Aksar Golden Child ko boundaries aur identity issues hoti hain, jiske liye support lena zaroori hota hai
- No Contact ya Low Contact: Agar parent toxic hai, to emotional distance zaroori ho sakta hai
- Inner Child Healing: Apne bachpan ke suppressed needs ko acknowledge karna
- Healthy Boundaries: “No” kehna seekhna bina guilt ke

Golden Child Ko Apne Aap Se Dubara Milna
Sabse bada challenge hota hai – apne asli self se dobara milna. Jab ek insaan apni life dusron ke expectations par jeeta hai, to vo bhool jaata hai ki uska asli self kya tha. Healing ke baad Golden Child apna passion, hobbies, choices, aur emotions pe dubara haq jatata hai.
Yeh ek rebirth jaisa hota hai – painful but liberating.
Conclusion – Favouritism bhi Abuse ho Sakta hai
Golden Child hona ek privilege nahi, balki ek hidden emotional trauma ho sakta hai. Narcissistic parent ka ye “special treatment” ek psychological trap hota hai jahan bacha apni identity kho deta hai. Jab tak is role se alag hoke apna asli self nahi samjha jaata, tab tak healing possible nahi hoti.
