Eps 473: Parenting with a narcissist with Carol Szuky

My guest today is Carol Szuky.  Carol is on the show today because she feels called to talk about the narcissistic abuse she navigated with her children for most of their lives.  

Carol shares the story of meeting and marrying her narcissistic husband and the two big indicators that let her know the relationship was no longer healthy or working.  I ask Carol to define narcissism from her experience and how/when she planned to leave, then she shares the conversation & surprising twist that opened her husband up to listening, feeling, and changing.  

Carol shares the specific tools and therapy that have helped her & her husband, what her self-talk sounds like, & tips around boundaries.  I ask Carol how people reacted when she decided to stay & work things out with her narcissistic husband and why she & her husband are passionate about sharing their story.  We end today with tips for co-parenting with a narcissist.
