About this episode
Erin discusses the emotional and relational costs of navigating toxic, narcissistic family relationships.
For those navigating toxic, narcissistic family relationships, we are all too aware of the price we have paid and continue to pay.In some very real ways, it feels like we are being robbed every single day.What can cost that much?I am referring to the LOSS that happens when - as a child of narcissists - you choose to stand up, speak out, speak your truth and, if necessary, cut ties altogether. Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope. The price keeps increasing and the cost gets greater. It’s a gradual process, not happening all at once, like a simple bank transaction. For me, the cost meant standing alone, which resulted in having no extended family for my children. I used to apologise for that, especially since it was a direct result of my hard choices. No more apologies! I now embrace ‘just us.’I wouldn’t change it for the world because I have everything I need…EVERYONE I need!It’s JUST US.
