Summary
Details

Growing up with a personality-disordered parent creates unique wounds that generic trauma books cannot heal. While bookstore shelves overflow with resources for narcissistic and borderline parents, 28.2 million adult children need healing guidance for the other eight personality disorders-until now.

Finally, a comprehensive resource that addresses ALL personality disorders affecting parenting:

Cluster A (Odd/Eccentric):

Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal parents who distort reality

Cluster B (Dramatic/Erratic):

Narcissistic, Borderline, Histrionic, and Antisocial parents who create emotional chaos

Cluster C (Anxious/Fearful):

Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive parents who control through fear

What makes this different from other books:

✓ Covers all 10 personality disorders, not just the popular two ✓ Specific healing strategies for each disorder type ✓ Real case studies showing how different disorders impact children ✓ Practical exercises for identifying your patterns ✓ Evidence-based recovery approaches including EMDR, DBT, and attachment therapy ✓ Guidance for complex families with multiple disorders

Discover why your healing journey felt incomplete when using resources designed for other personality disorders. Learn how growing up with an OCPD parent requires different recovery skills than surviving a paranoid parent. Understand how your specific childhood shaped your adult struggles-and what targeted healing looks like.

Each chapter includes:

Detailed disorder explanations from a parenting perspective

How each personality disorder sabotages healthy child development

The lasting neurobiological impact on adult functioning

Specific trauma patterns and triggers to recognize

Tailored healing approaches for your particular background

Boundary-setting strategies that work for each disorder type

Hope for breaking intergenerational cycles

Stop searching for pieces of your story in books about other experiences. This comprehensive guide addresses the 85% of personality-disordered parenting that other resources ignore, providing the specific understanding and tools you need to heal from your particular childhood.

Your pain is valid. Your experience matters. Your healing is possible.
