Publisher's summary

You are moments away from learning how to stop your mother’s narcissistic behavior from getting through to you, to protect yourself from emotional abuse, get your sanity back, move on, heal, and build new boundaries!

The bond between a parent and a child is supposed to be special; it is supposed to be formed on the basis of unconditional love and support. Anything aside from this is a toxic relationship.

But if you dread any contact you have with your mother because a phone call from her is usually a roller coaster as she:

  • Always has to criticize you even when unnecessary
  • Manipulates you
  • Has to get her way all the time with complete lack of empathy
  • Never sees anything good you do
  • Is always humiliating you in front of people
  • Is passively aggressive towards you
  • Makes mean and negative comments about you
  • Has no respect for your personal boundaries
  • Never takes responsibility
  • And plays victim all the time even when she is wrong by turning things around to make them about her

It is clear that what you have with your mother is not a healthy relationship. She may play victim and paint a rosy image that you have with her but as an "insider", you can see right through her for who she is; a canning, manipulative and lying narcissist that cares less about anyone else.

I know you are wondering....

  • But what do you do about it; after all, she’s your mother?
  • How can you stop her manipulative advances towards you?
  • How can you make her to see and understand herself for who she is, the way you see her?
  • How can you unchain yourself from her claws and control so that you can have independence of mind and thought and finally be happy?
  • How can you build boundaries that last in your relationship with your mother?
  • Do you have to abandon her and if yes, how do you develop the courage to cut ties if you have to?
  • How do you ‘put your foot down’ to stop all the manipulation, love bombing, gaslighting, neglect, isolation, verbal abuse, and exploitation by your own mother?

If you have these and other related questions, this book is specially for you so keep reading. It covers everything about dealing with narcissistic manners without losing your mind and sanity in the process!

More precisely, the book will teach you:

  • The basics of narcissistic tendencies in mothers, including how they manifest as well as how they affect children (the victims) with their narcissistic tendencies
  • How to spot narcissistic tendencies in your mother
  • Covert narcissistic mothers and teenagers
  • Whether or not your narcissist mother can recover from their narcissistic tendencies
  • The things narcissistic mothers say to their children for mental manipulation and to control them
  • The connection between narcissism and upbringing
  • How you can protect yourself from emotional abuse

Excellent

I've recording a number of audiobook on Narcissist parents now, and this is one of the best ones I've recording so far. Aside from being easy to read and highly relatable, it highlighted a number of behaviors I have in adulthood, that to be honest, I hadn't actually connected until now with my upbringing, and it was painful to realist that my hideous excuse for a parent had affected me even more than I thought she had. But it's a good thing in the end, to realist the serious harm these people do, only then do you rise up and finally rid yourself of them, rather than giving them opportunity after opportunity to knock you down again, by keeping them in your life in some capacity, as I have, or by keeping other family members around, that still keep the recording going in some small way.

Good One

This is an ideal manual for everybody. I bought from Amazon. on the off chance that there is a second parent preaent, concentrate energies and endeavors toward that path. the kid can be an empowering influence helping the second parent to asserythemselves, dismiss narcissistic conduct and let go. A debt of gratitude is in order for the maker for this astounding substance manual.

Excellent audiobook recording !!

This is an excellent audiobook recording. It so accurately describes living with a narcissistic mother and how to free yourself. That 'Mother's are to be put on pedestals and revered, to never be questioned, to be loved no matter what. I definitely recommend this audiobook recording.

Well worth the time

It wasn't long before her frankly lunatic behavior started again, reveling in my misfortune, becoming insanely jealous at anything remotely good happening in my life, constantly spreading smear and hate campaigns about me, controlling all communication between all family members and eventually isolating me from them all, telling everyone I was 'abusing her', despite it being completely untrue, and lapping up the attention and sympathy this gained her, whilst smirking at me as more and more people turned against me, and I could do nothing to convince them otherwise.

Helpful information.

If you are looking for helpful information about the mother daughter relationship, this is the audiobook. However, if you are looking for even more, like working through old patterns and ways of thinking that are no longer serving you or any of your relationships, this is also the audiobook. Karen deftly writes about what she has gleaned from not only deep study, but her own personal work, creating a concise guide to help you begin to understand how to dig out of frustration and guilt. Highly recommend

Highly recommend

Great audiobook for recognizing and understanding the impacts of being raised by a narcissistic mother. Such huge numbers of individuals don't start to comprehend the devastating destruction this sort of misuse causes, however Megan Henderson . Secretive clearly does. I have battled for a considerable length of time with my broken family/narcissistic mother and this audiobook approved and empower me.
