Parental Manipulation: Let's Talk About It.

You're Not Crazy: A Podcast for the Adult Children of Parents with Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorders

Let's talk about common forms of parental manipulation and abuse. Today, we pull back the curtain on the dysfunctional tactics employed by parents with borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. Has your reality has been twisted through gaslighting? Were family rivalries created through triangulation? Today's episode reveals how guilt-tripping and emotional blackmail can devastate your mental health and relationships, and provides insights into recognizing these harmful behaviors.
We'll also shed light on how projection and the silent treatment further strain parent-child dynamics, especially when narcissistic parents view their children as mere extensions of themselves. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by jealousy, competitiveness, or manipulative control, this episode is your guide to understanding these dysfunctional behaviors BPD and NPD parents often use to meet their own needs. Tune in for clarity and support, and a reminder that you, in fact, are not crazy.
