For a child, the most important person in the world is their mother. A mother is a symbol of love, support, and attention. But when you have a narcissistic mother, it will be difficult to grow up in a good environment. She will be mostly focused on herself, putting herself first and ignoring the needs of her children completely.
Various psychological tests reveal that the relationship we have with our parents is the main influence on how we will develop as adults and how we will interact with the people around us.
Furthermore, since childhood, we have formed our attachment style, and when we are raised by a narcissistic mother, this is going to be completely messed up. In most cases, a child who is raised in a narcissistic environment is going to deal with emotional abuse that will lead to low self-esteem and anxiety as an adult.
In this article, we will show some of the major signs of what a narcissistic mother looks like. And be aware and emotionally prepared, because some of them are very painful to read.
You just described my ex-wife spot on!
My mother was much worse than a narcissist. I believe she was a psychopath and possessed with a demon! I am 79 years old and suffer from ptsd which started when I was a young child. My pain has been so oppressive that I attempted suicide numerous times. The last time was in 1996 and was awakened by the LORD! HE told me HE loved me and wanted me to live. HE also promised HE would never leave me, and HE never has! I took so many pills I should have died or at least been ill from them but it never happened! If I was not born again and lived with and for HIM I would have committed suicide in order to die from the pain I live with. But JESUS CHRIST is always here to lift me out of the horror of nightmares, flash backs and night terrors. I am totally without loved ones but I have the greatest lover who loves my heart, my soul and my spirit every moment and forever!
Your words are very comforting to me. I live with a narcissist husband. I’m away on business and really realized how much I feel being away. I’m less stressed and anxiety has decreased. I need to live for me!
