I have a parent who suffers from a personality disorder. I have found some helpful information online, but it often stops at simplistic ideas like setting boundaries. This man gets it.

For the ones who realize they, for their own reason, need to navigate this land mind. It’s beyond exhausting. Can’t imagine what I’d be doing or thinking about daily if or when I’m free of this.
Thank you so much
