Deb Berke posted:Hello. I am a Master Stepfamily Coach. I run two of the largest online communities for individuals in millennial blended families (Blended and Black and VIPStepmom). I have many years of experience in the trenches of doing the dirty work handling stepfamily conflict. My study also keenly focuses on teaching stepmothers how to cope with HCBMs (high conflict biological mothers). I have found that an HCBM is usually a woman that has a poor conflict management style, her own ACEs and disordered personality characteristics. This type of parent usually imparts their 'false beliefs' in their children further continuing the cycle of disorder and broken family systems.
I'd love to help with this topic.

Hi,
I was just curious. When you say
"HCBMs (high conflict biological mothers). I have found that an HCBM is usually a woman that has a poor conflict management style, her own ACEs and disordered personality characteristics. This type of parent usually imparts their 'false beliefs' in their children further continuing the cycle of disorder and broken family systems."
Are you referring to mothers with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Characteristics?
Thanks
