The Daughter Who Disappeared

Surviving Narcissistic Abuse and Reclaiming Your Identity

This is the book that started everything. In raw, unflinching honesty, Mette Glargaard traces the invisible wound that shapes so many women over 45 — the experience of growing up unseen, unprotected, and emotionally abandoned by a narcissistic parent. If you have ever felt like you simply disappeared inside your own family, this book will finally give language to what happened to you. It is not a self-help manual. It is a reckoning — and the first step toward becoming sovereign.

This book is for you if…

Women who grew up in emotionally unsafe homes and are only now beginning to name what happened.

Healing from Emotional Incest

Breaking Free from the Parent–Child Enmeshment That Stole Your Identity

Emotional incest — also called covert incest or enmeshment — is one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed forms of childhood trauma. It happens when a parent leans on their child for emotional support, companionship, or validation that should come from adult relationships. The result is a grown woman who has spent decades managing everyone else's feelings while her own go unmet. This book names the pattern, explains the neuroscience, and maps a clear path out — toward boundaries, selfhood, and genuine connection.

This book is for you if…

Women who feel responsible for everyone around them and struggle to identify their own needs.

A Daily Companion for the Healing Journey

Insight alone does not heal — embodied practice does. This guided journal is the hands-on companion to the healing work, designed for women who are ready to move from understanding their patterns to actually changing them.

Pair it with any of Mette's books, or use it independently as a standalone healing practice.

This book is for you if…

Women who want a structured daily practice to support their healing — ideal as a follow-on from the books above.

Women who are done shrinking and ready to claim the full, abundant life they have been quietly dreaming of.
