When “Perfect” Isn’t Perfect: Unmasking a Narcissistic Mom
Manage episode 454719433 series 3589271
Growing up with a narcissistic mother can feel like navigating a maze of manipulation and emotional chaos. Ever wonder how the image of a "perfect mom" can clash so deeply with reality? In this episode, I share snippets from my own personal journey of growing up with the "perfect" narcissistic mother.
We'll dive into how societal perceptions of motherhood often mask harmful behaviors, the pressure to maintain appearances, and the lasting emotional impact. From public praise to private criticism, I’ll explore the struggle to find independence amidst constant judgment and the manipulative claims of martyrdom.
