Narcissism - Dealing with a Narcissistic Mother & Emotion Abuse - WIEBGE

Narcissism

We hear this word Narcissism being thrown around a lot these days. What does it mean? Is the person I am dealing with a Narcissist?

Narcissism is a spectrum disorder, which means it exists on a continuum, ranging from a few narcissistic traits to the full-blown personality disorder.

We as daughters of mothers with Narcissistic traits can be on the receiving end of the moods and behaviours of a mother with some or many of the narcissistic traits.

• Do you struggle with your relationship with your mother/family?
• Do you feel you are not good enough when it comes to your mother/family?
• Do you feel your father takes your mother’s side in discussions and arguments regardless of whether you are right or wrong?
• Do you feel that whatever you do and whatever you say it is always wrong or not good enough?
• Do you feel you are fighting a losing battle with your family?
• Do you find that when you finally achieve a goal you have been reaching for or struggling for – your mother/family cannot not be pleased for you? They cannot celebrate with you?
• Are you the Scapegoat of the family?
• Are you the Golden Child in your family?
• Do you dread family occasions or functions?
• Do you find you are dreading the time when the family gets together?
• Is “Mother’s Day” one if the hardest days in your life?
• Do you find that when you get to a family get together there is always a drama and the drama always turns out to be your fault?
• Do you find you are travelling very well with the ups and downs if everyday life until you get with family and then you question everything?
• Do you feel a heightened sense if anger when dealing with your mother/family?
• Are your connections with your mother based on Fear Obligation and Guilt (FOG)?
• Do you feel you have tried and tried and tried to get approval from your mother and always fail?

These and many other questions daughters have asked themselves over many many years and also “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I get approval from my mother? I have tried everything.

If you have answered YES! to many of the questions above you might be dealing with a mother / partner / family with Narcissistic traits.
