Break the Cycle with DSD

218. Should I Tell My Child the Truth About Their Narcissistic/BPD Parent?


Listen Later

If you’re co-parenting with someone who has narcissistic or BPD traits and you’re in a 50/50 custody situation, this podcast is for you.

A listener asked: “My son is 3.5 years old—do I say anything about his mom, or just keep her out of my house entirely?”


In this podcast, I dive into:


  • How to talk to a young child about a toxic parent (without causing damage)

  • The mistakes I made early in my divorce—and what I’d do differently

  • When to speak, what not to say, and how to create emotional safety

  • Groundhog Day syndrome and how to stop it

  • Why your home must become your child’s emotional anchor

  • Tips for neutral transitions, boundaries, and avoiding triangulation



💡 Whether you’re just entering family court or are years into the battle, this podcast will give you grounded, field-tested advice to protect your child—without turning them into the battlefield.


👉 Drop your thoughts or questions in the comments—let’s help each other through the chaos.
