Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

How Narcissistic Mothers Damage Your Adult Relationships and Mental Health


Listen Later

"She made you doubt yourself—now you're doing it in every relationship."
If you grew up with a narcissistic mother, that emotional abuse didn’t just stay in childhood—it follows you into adulthood, sabotaging how you love, trust, and relate to others.

In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we break down how narcissistic parenting creates lasting trauma, including people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, low self-worth, and attracting toxic partners.
"You weren’t difficult. You were conditioned to survive."

Through real stories from my counselling sessions, I explain the hidden ways narcissistic mothers shape your emotional patterns—and how to break free from that cycle for good.
"Healing starts when you stop blaming yourself."

If your relationships feel like a battlefield, this episode will help you understand the roots—and show you a way forward.
