About

Growing up with a Narcissistic Parent was like living in emotional captivity. You never had the chance to figure out what you wanted because your parent’s voice was so dominating and overwhelming. Now, you realize that you’ve still never escaped that manipulation and guilt, and lack personal agency. You keep wondering if there’s any way to fix things. You desperately wish that there was some way to escape the feelings of guilt and shame. And when you think about your future, your greatest fear is that you’ll repeat these same toxic patterns with your own family. You feel so helpless.
