My mom would make people around her think she’s the good mom, and I’m the ungrateful daughter. Something I can’t control, and feel so frustrated about.

1. Acceptance
2. Knowledge about narcissist mothers
3. Boundaries
4. Focus on you

[AlaaJabberi]

you can Never argue with a narcissistic mother, because she is always either the victim or the hero

[kimberleyssandbox]

My Mother is the greatest heartache and heartbreak in my entire life

[jenniferirwin]

They have such fake empathy followed along with their fake crocodile tears. Self-Centered liars. True manipulative behavior. Always the victim when the true victims suffer in silence.

[gabrielaj.]

If one day I am able to be a mother - I will be the best mother to my children. I will be everything my mother wasn't.

[heatherswift]

The holidays are a nightmare for daughters of narcissistic mothers. The mother DEMANDS a perfect holiday gathering and if anyone should dare deviate from her perfectionist vision, she will bad mouth and guilt trip you as if you committed a crime. I am completely done with celebrating all holidays because they were so traumatic for me.

[kaleyjoplinRAWRR]

Very thin skinned is true! My mom has the emotional maturity of a toddler.

[clairenichols]

Oh thank you Gods for mentioning how people demonize you if you try to talk about your narcissistic mother and they try saying "you only have one mother etc crap" thank you for your empathy. I have been there and it makes my blood boil how people love to shame you instead of trying to understand. I hate it.

[rhoadestraveled]

Thank you. She makes me wonder if I am crazy. I guess she’ll never change. I wish I had a loving mom.

[kenyap]

Im part of the childfree movement thanks to my mom. Unfortunately, i have lots of narcissistic traits that i will not subject my children to. The cycle of abuse ends with me.

[DELIVERANCE-TODAY]

I’m so tired of the guilt trips, jealousy, manipulation, and smearing my name behind my back. Tired, tired, tired.

[sheilajac]

I swear to god the whole "not speaking" about narcissistic mothers is a HUGE contributor to the overall problems in society. We have to stop this unconditional reverence for mothers - you don't have to be a great person to get knocked up and carry a child to term.

[phoenix]

“Having a narcissistic mother can make life super miserable.” PREACH IT, SISTER!!!

[etaokha]

I became the mother I wanted to my kids. I am everything my mother wasn't. There's no contact policy in my home when it comes to my mother. It's 2 years we've not spoken and am happy I did it

[monikamona]

It's time to mourn the kind of a relationship we've never had and will never have with them. And move on.

[robertmaxa]

A narcissist mother, only loves you, as long as you are of use to them. I found, that "boundaries", are a foreign concept for them, because only their wants and needs, are important, and do what they have to, to get them met.

[DeniseBabbit]

"But she's your mother." My reply to that is, "No. She's the egg donor." After studying, I've come to realize she is a malignant narc. I was the scapegoat, but I've escaped, and am working on healing. 8 months no contact.

[rebeccajones]

It never ends. You are right, you can never please her. It is never enough.

[mommyholly]

I’ve always been jealous of girls who can call their moms when they need a shoulder to cry on. It seems like such a beautiful thing. I’m soo scared as a mom now that my kids will view me as I viewed her 😖
