  At the age of 50, just found out that my mother is a narcissist 😢 and my dad might’ve been one too. My inner child is dying for a warm and loving motherly hug. Started my healing journey and hopefully I can get the peace of mind.

  The worst part is when people (family & outsiders) tell you how great your mother is, and how grateful you should be so you feel so guilty and crazy for the pain you experienced. I've had rose-tinted glasses for so long, but I would have deep-seated resentment and anger whenever I visited my family of origin.

  The inner child is still looking for her mother. I wish you were my mother. I'm sure life would have been totally different ^ ,^

  I needed this, desperately. I'm 37 and my mother still effects me to this day. I went limited contact a few years ago. Im to the point of cutting off all contact with her completely. It's a heartbreaking, life-impacting thing to have a mean, delusional, gossiping "mother" Prayers for all of you that have found yourselves here ❤

  My mother is a narcissist and I've been begging her for love as long as I can remember. I'm sick of letting it ruin my adult life, thank you so much for being here for us and for telling me what I needed to hear.

  I’m 29 years old and I’m just learning that my mother’s been abusing me and my siblings for our entire lives. I can’t stop crying. It’s so traumatizing you realize that the person who was supposed to protect you is the person who has been harming you all along. My mom would put us down and belittle us and make fun of us. My mother used to call me fat and ugly and make fun of me to my siblings. If I cried, she called me “too sensitive”. She always made me do what she didn’t want to do and would say “If you don’t do this then you don’t love me” and we were forced to do so many things.

  Thanks so much, Terri. I burst out crying while watching it - I am 43, and really feel lonely. I’ve known for several years that my Dad was/is emotionally unavailable but as for my mother, it’s clicked just recently that I was her emotional support in my childhood. Many of my friends were like her - i was their psychologist and when they healed, they left me. Now it’s time to leave this pattern behind and start something new.

  Knowing that healing is possible, lifted a the weight of an elephant off my chest. I can... breathe without wanting to cry, for the first time in the longest time.<br>I hope my fellow hurting sisters can find the same relief. I &nbsp;will do my best to pass on this message. <br><br>Thank you Terri, I love you. x

  The gap between the way you wished you were loved and how you actually were treated is directly proportional to the depth of love that you feel both then and now. You are not too sensitive. You are simply more so

  I was screaming crying last night because my narcissistic mother is destroying me and turning everyone against me. &nbsp;It hurts so bad.

  I could never find a mother&apos;s day card. All of them said things like<br>&quot;You&apos;re so helpful, caring,loving, there for me, and on and on. <br>I would be lieing if I sent her one of those cards. I am 46 years old and have just now ended all contact with my mother. I now know she only cares about herself. She has always cared only for herself. It took me 46 years to realize she never loved me and she is a horrible vulgar woman.
