Daughters Of Narcissist Mothers

Everyone always said you’d understand when you have kids. I swear I understand her less now. Does anyone feel the same.

I so badly wanted to share this on my socials but I am friends with some people that speak with my mother on a regular basis and I don’t feel like hearing any crap about it. ✌🏼

I have been low contact with my mum for about 6 months now. She’s always been difficult but through pregnancy last year she was horrid to me. Then since my boy was born she was very rude about his appearance etc. just awful. So I went low contact. I’m close with my siblings and my sister told me that my mum told them that I do nothing with my son (basically saying I’m a terrible mother). The thing is she never talks to me so she has no idea what I do with him which actually I do a lot with him. I’m sick of the lies she says about me behind my back. And there’s many more. I’m now only talking to her if she reaches out and I’ve found that she NEVER reaches out. So going low contact has meant actually we don’t talk. I don’t get why? It’s like she thinks it’s my responsibility to always reach out.

Do you all feel that it's been harder to be a mother than your peers, having grown up in a Narcissistic household? If so, how has it been harder? Asking for a friend.

My mother, who lives about 40 mins away, has seen my 10 month old daughter (her first grandchild) about half a dozen times since she was born. This was the Easter basket she gave her on Monday. 😒
