Welcome to another episode of love and abuse.

And I'm going to just start with this dilemma I have.

It's not a dilemma.

It's maybe more of a surprise.

The surprise is I looked through my entire catalog of love and abuse episodes, and I didn't see a single one that said anything about children.

I looked through all my titles, nothing said kids, nothing said child or children, And I got a message from someone that they basically said, would you do a podcast about parenting children or teens who are in shared custody or a

shared custody situation with a narcissistic parent and showing signs of narcissistic traits already as a teen.

I really need help and I can't find resources for protecting and helping my teen, a female teen,

narcissistic dad. My son is doing pretty well, but he's hardwired to individual, hardwired to

individuate from his dad. My daughter can't keep the emotional abuse clear because she

wants to forgive everything, every time she sees a glimmer of the dad she wants or needs.

She's also using the same tools on me or mom that he uses on her.

And she goes on to say, I only find things for adults who grew up in narcissistic homes.

I'd love any resources you can send me to or point me in the right direction as well.

So thank you for sharing that.

I'm so sorry you're going through that with children.
