Sailing Different Ships

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. One lesson I learned…very early on…was that Life doesn’t stop just because you have some figuring out to do. Being raised by narcissists can be compared to living with grief. Life doesn’t stop for that either. Whether living with narcissists or living with grief, you never get over it, it’s not a competition with others experiencing it, there are no rewards for surviving it and no two experiences are the same. But, what if you are sailing several ships through several shit storms at the same time? You can only sail one ship at a time, right? Well, that may be true on open waters! I can’t say the same for dealing with multiple narcissistic parents. Fortunately, for younger generations, there is a global community, terminology, definitions and loads of information. No one needs to sail alone anymore…even those of us sailing several ships simultaneously…in shark infested waters. That gives me such hope!

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.

One lesson I learned…very early on…was that Life doesn’t stop just because you have some figuring out to do. Being raised by narcissists can be compared to living with grief. Life doesn’t stop for that either.

Whether living with narcissists or living with grief, you never get over it, it’s not a competition with others experiencing it, there are no rewards for surviving it and no two experiences are the same.

But, what if you are sailing several ships through several shit storms at the same time? You can only sail one ship at a time, right? Well, that may be true on open waters! I can’t say the same for dealing with multiple narcissistic parents.

Fortunately, for younger generations, there is a global community, terminology, definitions and loads of information. No one needs to sail alone anymore…even those of us sailing several ships simultaneously…in shark infested waters.

That gives me such hope!
