Narcissistic Mothers: Learn How to Handle Narcissistic Manipulative Mothers to Heal and Recover from Psychological Abuse

by Rhonda Appleton

It is not an easy walk in the park to create the 'perfect,' prosperous life, job, having your own house, and family. And then no one said it would be easy. However, in your life, there is someone who makes things look that your mother. She's one that everyone is in awe of. She's wonder woman in their eyes.Mothers are the cornerstone for our first attachment to the universe. As babies and young children, we learn from her example how to connect with others. We obtain our initial sense of self-esteem by how she cares about us, nurtures us, loves and protects us from danger.Though a loving mother protects her child from the risk of harm of the outside world at an early stage, a narcissistic mother is the source of anxiety and fear for her children and obscures the self-perception of the child. Children of narcissistic mothers have doubt in their minds and low self-worth rooted deep into their lives instead of being given the skills and resources to create and sustain a healthy self-esteem.While the healthy mother welcomes her child with unwavering love and understanding aimed at providing confidence and a safe space to find and develop into who they are, the narcissistic mother offers performance-driven, conditional love which is only for leverage to be elevated even higher without the reward being provided. It induces a continuous sense of fear, self-doubt, and mistrust.I want you to be able to overcome the affects you faced as a daughter/son who grew up with a narcissistic mother. Even if you don’t think you can, you can, even if it was a small step, you can overcome narcissistic abuse and start to focus on the person you want to be and build the life you want.

The audiobook is terrible and unhelpful.

This brings nothing new to the table. Maybe the print version is better, but my library only has the
audiobook - which is terrible. The narrator has a weird cadence and mispronounces words to such an extent that I didn’t know what she was saying
