If you keep repeating painful patterns in your relationships — choosing wrong partners, feeling invisible, never asking for what you need — this might be why.
Dr. Rachna Buxani, author of “Unseen,” joins Dr. Kerry to expose the hidden roles children are assigned in narcissistic family systems — and the lasting damage those roles leave behind in every relationship you’ll ever have.
Were you the invisible child? The golden child? The scapegoat? The parentified child forced to carry the family’s weight? These roles don’t stay in childhood — they follow you.
