Struggling to set boundaries with a parent who has borderline or narcissistic personality disorder? In this episode of You're Not Crazy, I break down five key signs that you need stronger boundaries—and share practical strategies to help you establish them.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to rethink your boundaries:

✔️ You feel completely drained after interacting with your parent—or even just thinking about them.
✔️ You’re constantly walking on eggshells, afraid of triggering an emotional meltdown.
✔️ You keep getting sucked into their chaos and drama (even when you try to stay out of it).
✔️ You avoid setting boundaries because you’re scared of rejection or abandonment.
✔️ Your parent interferes with your relationship and disrupts your peace.
