Surviving a Narcissistic Family: Recognizing the Roles and Breaking Free

You grew up feeling invisible, criticized, or pitted against your siblings. You were the scapegoat, the golden child, or the lost one—always walking on eggshells. The love you received came with strings attached, and you still carry the weight of those early wounds. It feels impossible to break free from the family that shaped you. This book is a calm, compassionate companion for that journey. You will learn to name the roles your family assigned, understand the tactics that kept you trapped, and begin to set boundaries—first with yourself, then with others—without guilt or shame. You will discover how to grieve the family you needed and start building a life rooted in your own truth and worth. Part of The Quiet Healing Library.
