For those that don’t know my story, my daughter and I were in a toxic karmic relationship for many years until we both cut the cords and redefined our relationship, and now we are in a healthy dynamic. At the time of writing this blog post she is 20 years old and runs her own successful beauty business so is doing very well for herself. She lives with some friends and while she has had to experience some very tough lessons in her time away from us, I have seen enormous growth within her.

Part of her purpose as my karmic was to teach me about setting boundaries, becoming interdependent and standing up for myself, so as you can imagine this meant that there were many narcissistic traits that were displayed during this time. However, I had to refrain myself from using the term narcissist because I don’t believe that you can even diagnose somebody with NPD until they are over 24 years old and their brains are fully developed.

So, instead I started altering my perspective and realised that her behavior came from a place of hurt which has spanned many lifetimes. Once I accepted this and we closed this karmic cycle (with me being very capable of setting boundaries) then these behaviors changed and she started focusing on her healing and we are now in a much better place.
