What It’s Like to Have a Parent with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

In this episode, I walk you through:

What patterns are common in narcissistic vs. borderline personality disorder Why the diagnosis itself isn’t what matters most What it feels like to grow up as a child dealing with a parent with these dynamics The key differences in behavior, motivation, and emotional impact Why these relationships feel so confusing, intense, and destabilizing

We also talk about emotional volatility, lack of empathy, and why being emotionally vulnerable with these parents isn’t a good idea.
