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 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.

However, I DO know which one is the REAL me and that is all that matters.

Episode Description

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.

Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest by Stewart Edward White (1873 - 1946) LibriVox In the northern outreaches of the Canadian wilderness, it was understood that the Hudson Bay Company governed all trading, and one factor named Galen Albret took his position seriously. Free traders, or those who dared try to do their trading outside of the Company, found themselves having to face Galen Albret and his methods of dealing with them. One or two offenses he might tolerate, but for those who repeatedly refuse to acknowledge his warning out, he would send them on “La Longue Traverse” through the wilderness without supplies, and from which they seldom returned.Ned Trent was one such free trader who defied both the Company and Galen Albret. The defining difference between Ned and the other free traders however, was his youth, energy, and good looks, which the Factor’s daughter did not fail to recognize. What follows the initial confrontations between Ned, Galen Albret, and his daughter Virginia makes for a thrilling tale of adventure, daring, survival, and romance.
