About this episode
Erin discusses the complexities of being a child of a narcissistic parent and the deeper meaning of home.
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. So…if I told you that the title of this episode is, “There’s No Place Like Home,” would you close your eyes, click your heels together three times and hope for the best like Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz”? I am quite fortunate. If I did that, I wouldn’t go anywhere. I am already home. I can relate to Dorothy for many reasons. Here are some of them: 1. I survived a sh*t storm (or life tornado) 2. I ended up somewhere I never expected 3. I found and created a whole new family 4. I made it safely home Actually, for the past 33 years, I could happily and proudly say, ‘I am home.’ Although I appreciate the four walls around me, home is much deeper than that. For me, home means… I am safe. I am loved. I belong. There truly is no place like home.
