Quote of the Day

Your emerging recognition of your parent's narcissism is evidence of your growing capacity to validate your own true self.  In fact, you are realizing that your NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) parent's criticisms and rejections have had nothing to do with the real you.  As your awareness grows, the liberation and relief you feel is your first genuine reward for the healing work you have done.

-- Eleanor D. Payson, The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists, p. 58
