Recovering from Narcissistic Mothers includes: an introduction to NPD - gain a deeper understanding of what NPD is, what causes it, how to identify it, and the different ways in which it manifests; the mother-daughter dynamic - explore the dynamic between daughters and narcissistic mothers, including common relationship traits like role reversal, codependency, attachment, and enabling; and real-life experiences - listen to others' experiences with narcissistic mothers, including recovery, self-care, and moving forward.

The accuracy

I like the fact I could relate. like I was being heard by having someone relay info that I'd gone through. that I wasn't crazy for feeling my feelings. the fact that someone else truly understand is refreshing..its usually a hidden secret no one never understood what you've gone through. I appreciate this book totally.

Wonderful book!

I had a clue about NM when I started this book, but I never imagined how much of my life was tied to one. Thank you for writing this. Thank you for validating and helping me understand. 💜

Thank you

The narrator did an excellent job, her voice was soothing and clear. This book is confirming and informative. A little triggering but essential for recovery. For me, this book was helpful and life changing.

Narcissistic Mother

I learned that to an extent my mother was a narcissist. She had very poor boundaries with me and my sister. I, to a certain extent, have displayed narcissistic behavior with my two youngest boys. For that I'll be forever sorry.

Insightful and relatable

Just hearing the real life examples of narcissistic mother and daughter dynamics, was validating. Encouraging the path of self care after narcissistic abuse.

Love this book

It’s a great book. Very informative. This is the beginning for me. I’ve recently realized that I grew up with one, so coming to reality with certain things is going to take some time, but this book explains it very well. I had a lot of aha moments.

Life Changing!!!

I get it all now, self doubt and all! It still sucks to be a product of this, but at least now I have a "why" and a "how".
