Ending the Legacy of a Narcissistic Personality Disordered Family

This is my journey of growing up with a Narcissistic Personality Disordered mother and the painful family dynamic that results from this. It's been a long road, and certainly could have been much worse, but nonetheless has been pretty painful. Thankfully, much healing has taken place. Take comfort in knowing you are not alone, you are not crazy, and there is hope. We can help one another along, our common goal being to end this legacy and create healthier relationships in each of our lives.
