In today's episode, I discuss whether you should set boundaries or go no contact with a parent who has unmanaged borderline or narcissistic personality disorder. We'll explore the emotional exhaustion that often leads to the choice of going no contact and the societal pressures that can make you doubt this decision.

Full disclosure- the audio on this episode is not great quality. I ambitiously attempted to do a video recording to post to YouTube and my editing skills are not at that level! Thank you for bearing with me this week. Next week we'll go back to our regular, audio-only episodes with better sound quality!

But, until then, if you want to watch the video of this episode, you can do so here >>>> https://youtu.be/eBi7Afhzl3w
