If you are an adult child of a narcissistic mother, this book is for you, and if you are not sure whether your abusive mother is a pathological narcissist, you will find out.

If you read this book:

You will become aware of all the reasons why your childhood was so traumatic.
You will learn how to deal with your narcissistic mother without being her victim any longer.
You will find out all dysfunctional beliefs and habits that you developed during your childhood.
You will learn how to contrast Complex Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms.

The issue of toxic mothers challenges the status quo in so many ways but does need to be addressed. Adult children of narcissistic parents are often plagued with so much guilt and sense of deep obligation and shame that they feel duty-bound to keep whatever happened in the family secret, even when it is shredding their lives. It’s really difficult to share your experience because narcissists, and especially a narcissistic mother, can be very good at creating the perfect image of the family for outsiders.

The solution is not forgiving or forgetting, but understanding and working on your self-development, and finally taking back control of your life.

Review

"I'm not a person who reads self help books or anything like this, so hear me out. Never has a book brought forth so many emotions within myself. Reading this book- the clarity, descriptions/definitions, and examples- all make perfect sense. I've always felt empty and alone inside and never understood the reason WHY I felt that way. This book puts into perspective the cause behind those feelings and some. There's a section specifically dedicated to sons of narcissistic mothers as well as daughters, so this can be helpful for everyone, not just daughters of narcissistic mothers. Everything is sectioned off and is super informative for those learning about this type of abuse.

I had no idea narcissistic abuse was a real thing until recently when I finally cut my mother out of my life. She crossed a boundary I set regarding my son, which was the final straw, yet I still had a boulder of GUILT weighing me down about my decision. This book reassured me that I did the RIGHT thing, which you will find out by reading. The author lists types of narcissistic mothers as well as what each child is (the golden child, the scapegoat, and the lost child) and goes into detail what's in store for each title given.

I highly recommend this book, especially if you are still in the learning process of this type of abuse. I was uneducated, began reading it, and that's when my emotions (which I began to think I was defective in that department) surfaced after so long being weighed down in this sea of doubt, self-loathing, and loneliness. This book actually made me realize growing up that I attracted narcissistic people to me. My best friend in school as well as my first relationship were with narcissists that it left me overwhelmed with emotion realizing this. I'm still a work in progress, but this book has helped me begin my journey to recovery from this kind of abuse. It will be a long road, but now that I have the knowledge, I think I'll be okay now. Thank you for writing this book! May this book help educate and start the recovery process for anyone else in the same boat."
