[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wonder, if you are emotionally healthy, is it not possible to have compassion for your own mother? I really am curious. My mother is likely NPD, but I have a lot of empathy. She had a crappy childhood, depression, poverty and she tried her best to be a good mom. To this day, I have had a hard time with her, but I also take a very compassionate view and think how horrible it must be for her to feel the way she does every day. I just can't believe how many people on DCUM hate their moms. Have most of you "diagnosed" your mothers through your own therapists?[/quote] Depends on the level of cruelty and abuse you endured. In my case, two of my immediate family members died as well so it is likely a more complicated situation than your own mom who “tried her best”.... for people who have been through real abuse, it is healthier to have the boundaries in place than go down with the sinking ship. You just don’t understand. [/quote]
