DR. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde I am Not! - Daughters Who Dare |...

What this episode covers

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. My birth family has never met me. I can hear you saying, “What do you mean? You talk about them on every episode.” Let me clarify. My birth family have never met the REAL me. I wasn’t playing roles, nor was I incognito. I have only ever been myself - living my truth and being authentic - but, for some inexplicable reason, they were(and are) unable to see me for who I really am. I tried to belong. I desperately wanted to be a part of the family. I hung on for too many years, mainly due to the fear of losing my birth family. But, I have realised something that has completely changed my way of thinking. I didn’t LOSE my family. I never HAD them. I don’t know why my birth family sees/knows one version of me, whilst my chosen family sees/knows a very different version of me. However, I DO know which one is the REAL me and that is all that matters.
