Interesting but Redundant

In the beginning of this book, I was hooked. I kept reading and crying and reading and crying. After a little bit, it just started to get redundant. It kept saying the same things over and over again and telling the reader different journals to keep which is probably helpful, but there are several different ones. The book was also about how to currently deal with your narcissistic mother while I have already cut mine out of my life and was looking for more healing mechanisms rather than ways to deal with her.

insightful and helpful

I’m nearly 70 , and I wish I had read something like this earlier. It’s hard being raised in a family like that and always feeling guilt or less than, always trying to gain approval, which rarely comes. Knowing something is. It right, but feeling guilty, like it’s my fault. In my 40s she died with some unresolved issues. I also discovered RET, which is like EMDR which helped a lot, changed careers, now retired and enjoying life. If I had known earlier a name for this problem, I might have healed and grown happier earlier. It’s hard to look for a Therapist when you believe everything is your own fault and financial resources are unavailable,so understanding and following ideas explained in this book is very helpful.

Helpful Insight

This book really helped me identify specifically my stepmom as a grandiose narcissist. And what the lasting effects of the way that I was raised and what that will look like for my son in the future. I'm now recognizing a lot of patterns and reaching out to therapists and finding ways to break free of my upbringing.

If you're even mildly questioning if your parent is a narcissist I would highly suggest downloading this book, it's a really short read and it's really really helpful at helping you pick those things apart.

Narcissistic influence

This book has a lot of great information and suggestions for anyone trying to leave a relationship with a narcissistic mother.
However I was a little disappointed with the delivery. I had thought it would be written from a more personal perspective but it came across very clinical and so it felt somewhat cold.
But the information alone makes it well worth the read.

A Great Read For Your Healing Journey

This book makes me feel so validated. I'm in the middle of my healing journey myself and have come to the realization that my mom was emotionally abusive. And I had been struggling to come to terms with it. This book totally validated all my feelings and more. I can't wait to bring this book up at my next therapy session.

Thank you again 🙌🏾

Written in an easy to understand format

This book is a good reference for how to overcome the damage done by a narcissistic mother. It is written in an easy to understand format that explains what a narcissist is and what harm they can cause and then going into several methods to heal oneself.

This is a very thorough and well written self-help book for daughters of narcissistic mothers. I wish that it had been available when I was working as a therapist as it clearly explains how to build your self esteem and overcome the voices in our heads from childhood that try to sabotage us. I highly recommend this book for personal use and for teaching

There is hope

This is a must read for all daughters of narcissistic mothers. My mother is no longer alive yet her voice runs on
a critical loop though my mind all the time. This book helped me in so many ways but, most importantly, showed me that not only am I not alone but that my feelings, despite being often conflicted, are valid. Filled with lots a great advice

Great resource to begin healing

Healing from this specific upbringing can be daunting. In a world where even well-meaning people gaslight us, it is validating reading a book like this. It is simple to read, but I had to micro dose it as the topic can be heavy. Highly recommended to anyone on this path.

Thanks for writing this book.

It took me a month to read, but only because this topic is personal. I have learned a lot about myself through this book. If you are looking for ways to gain a healthy self, you will find lots of ideas, tips and journaling prompts to get you started.
