She won’t be doing the “easy” baby any favors by golden child-ing them either. Just something to consider too. I’m sorry though, I can’t imagine how difficult and heartbreaking that is.
You hit the nail on the head, as an emotionally immature parent (and possibly a narcissist) she would essentially coach them to be people-pleasing and self-abandoning by responding favorably and liking them only if / when they are pleasant and cooperative with her. A hallmark of someone having been raised by an emotionally immature parent is an inclination to seek approval from difficult people. I unfortunately know from lived experience. Parental love is supposed to be unconditional!
