Mother Mayhem: For Daughters of Narcissistic or Emotionally Limited Mothers

54. When Your Narcissistic Mother Was Both Your Savior and Tormentor


Listen Later

This week, we delve into the confusing reality of having a narcissistic mother that wasn’t all bad. Many daughters grapple with the emotional confusion of having a mother who was both abusive and also the primary caregiver.

Listen in as I work to help Melanie reconcile these mixed feelings, manage the disconnect between love and abuse, and find a path towards healing.

This is the emotional roller coaster that comes with being the daughter of a narcissistic mother.

If Mayhem has helped you in your recovery from childhood narcissistic abuse, consider supporting the show by purchasing ⁠⁠Simple Scripts for Saying Hard Things⁠⁠. This resource provides sample scripts for tough conversations in life, love, and work.
