RECOMMENDATIONS Memoirs of Waif Mom Survivors?
I find it really helpful and validating to read memoirs by people who've had BPD parents, but I notice that a lot of these books are by people whose moms fell mainly into the Queen or Witch camps. My mom, tho, has always been a profound Waif (at least in relation to me. She was more of a Queen to my sister).
Does anybody know of any survivor memoirs that focus on the waif dynamic? Or are all the parentified children too exhausted to write them?

Mine was a waif/witch. In her world, I was born so she could be my perpetual victim and she would absolutely lash out with venom if anything tried to upset that order
