Are you victim of a "controlling" mother or a negligent mother ?

You are in front of a narcissist mother in boths cases

Do you want to understand why your adult relationship with your mother isn't like anyone else's that you know?

Do you want to know where some of your other relationship issues come from?

Do you want to know how to fix it?

It's time you really got to know your mother. You may be surprised at what she is really all about.

Growing up, we rely on our mothers as our first support, and as our first teachers in life and in love. Normally, this is a healthy relationship that models healthy behavior and launches the child onto a trajectory of happiness and stable adult relationships.

But what happens to the child when Mom has narcissistic traits or worse, actually suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

• Does she see herself in grandiose terms?
• Does she see herself as the ultimate mother?
• Is she empathetic, or not?
• Does she have a vision of how you and the rest of the family should be?

Bordering on, and sharing traits with sociopathy and psychopathy, Narcissistic Personality Disorder can have long-lasting, devastating effects on the family unit, on the spouse, and especially on the children. In fact, it can affect them well into adulthood and, like any other form of parental abuse, it can be passed down because it's the child's "normal." In fact, that is probably how Mom came to have it.

Yes You can recover from a lifetime of narcissistic mothering

That's what this book explores, narcissistic mothers and the covert (and often not so covert) abuse they inflict on their children. We'll look at:

• The anatomy of the personality and the development of personality disorders.
• The nature of abuse, including codependence, guilt, affective abstinence, checking and emotional incest.
• Narcissistic Personality Disorder, what it is and how it works
• The psychology of the narcissistic mother and a look at the most famous narcissistic mother of all, Joan Crawford.
• The effect the narcissistic mother has on her children.
• Six signs that you are the child of a narcissist.
• Ways to escape the trap of a narcissistic mother.
• Reestablishing a relationship with Mom, on your terms.

If you have narcissistic traits yourself, this book will help you see where they came from. If you grew up in a household where love was doled out like a reward for behavior, you'll learn why. In fact, we will go through each and every issue that the child of a narcissistic mother faces and offer practical advice on how to get past them.

It's a journey, but you are not alone. There are professionals, skilled and knowledgeable about narcissism and abuse, there are support groups, and there is this book. Think of it as a starting point, and it will take you from understanding how all of this began, through the many issues you had to deal with as a child and as an adult, to recovery and beyond, giving you the tools to finally take full control over your life.
