An eggshell parent is "often highly unpredictable, and unsafe in some way," she added.
Sage shared a few signs you grew up with at least one eggshell parent, and what the long-term impacts of such a relationship can be.
She added that eggshell parents often lack self-awareness of how their intense mood swings impact other people, especially their kids.
Without that acknowledgment, children of eggshell parents might continue to believe that they "caused" their parents' outbursts, and that they're responsible for managing other people's emotions.
