Not the Parent I Needed
Healing the Past, Reclaiming the Present, and Creating a Future That's Yours

What if the life you were taught to fear is the life you were always meant to live?

If you grew up with a narcissistic parent, chances are you were told-through words or silence-that your needs were too much, your feelings inconvenient, and your voice too loud. You learned to survive by disappearing, to seek love by abandoning yourself.

But survival isn't the end of your story.
You're allowed to heal. You're allowed to grow. You're allowed to begin again-on your own terms.

Not the Parent I Needed is a powerful guide for adult children of narcissists who are ready to break free from the patterns of the past and finally come home to themselves. With a grounded, compassionate voice, this book offers more than understanding-it offers real, usable steps to help you:

Name the invisible wounds that shaped you Separate your truth from the voice of shame Set boundaries without guilt-and keep them Build relationships that don't require you to shrink Stop performing for love, and start living with self-trust

Through gentle reflection and empowering insight, you'll learn how to reclaim your present and shape a future rooted in clarity, strength, and emotional freedom. Whether you're just beginning this journey or deep in the work of healing, Not the Parent I Needed will meet you with the language, tools, and hope to help you keep going.

You are not too damaged. You are not too late.
You are exactly where your healing begins.
