Quick, name the cruelest Disney villain… Did you name Mother Gothel? As a parental figure with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), Mother Gothel rates high on the list for her twisted, abusive and relentless treatment of her “adopted” daughter, Rapunzel. No “real-life Rapunzel” or “real-life Mother Gothel” may have existed, but for the myriad daughters with NPD mothers, the story itself is not too unlike their own stories. Stories, whether in books or movies or television programs, teach us about ourselves, about what we value, about what we love, about what we hate. Editor’s Note: Upon reading this post, some readers may say, “Oh, ‘ Tangled‘ is just a movie!” Indeed, “Tangled” is a movie, but not just one.
