Raised by the golden child

[Question]

Resource request. As I've been navigating my estrangement from my mom, I've realized most resources I've encountered explain the narc parent's behavior as rooted in abuse. However, in my case, I believe it's that my mom was the golden child, and I was wondering if anyone has come across anyone addressing this. What do the children of those who have never had to face the consequences their actions do?
