Jake, a mental health professional, joins Diane & Rick on this episode to tell his story of dealing with narcissistic abuse and alienation from his mother growing up. They discuss how it felt to him as a teen, how he came to realize his mother’s disorder, and how he reconnected with his father, who represented Jake’s emotional place of safety. The hosts explore the importance of setting reasonable boundaries, even if it means cutting off the relationship in adulthood.
