Summary

In this video, we discuss Mother Gothel from the "tangled movie" as a prime example of a "narcissistic mother" and how her actions constitute "narcissistic abuse". We explore the "emotional abuse" inflicted through her "toxic parents" style, especially after "mother gothel kidnaps rapunzel". It's a deep dive into the psychological underpinnings of this classic Disney villain.
