When discussing personal issues with your mother, does she redirect the conversation to herself? Does she try to overshadow your feelings with her own, exhibit jealousy, or lack empathy? Do you feel a consistent emotional distance and question her affection for you? Narcissistic personality disorder presents a paradox: those affected often appear confident but actually struggle with low self-esteem and a desperate need for attention and praise. This behavior hinders their ability to form healthy relationships, leading to distress not only for themselves but also for those around them. Individuals with this disorder often focus excessively on themselves, contemplating power, success, and appearance while exploiting those nearby. Such behaviors typically emerge in early adulthood and manifest in various social situations, including relationships and work. This guide explores recognizing the problem, identifying characteristics of a narcissistic mother, understanding maternal narcissism, and its symptoms. It also outlines the consequences of growing up with a narcissistic mother, signs to look for, and offers tips for healing if raised by one. Discover eight healing strategies to support your journey toward recovery.
