The Family You Were Born Into - Family of Origin

For the adult who is still navigating the specific, complex damage of growing up in a family organized around a narcissistic parent — where one person's needs defined the emotional climate, where certain children were idealized and others scapegoated, and where the impact of the childhood dynamics is still running in the adult's relationships, self-concept, and daily life. This book addresses narcissistic parenting, the four family roles, the specific wounds of the adult child, how to navigate the relationship now, the grief of the parent who was never available, and the most significant healing available: breaking the generational chain.
