[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] I'm the OP who moved to another continent. I have compassion for myself first. I'm sure you have a lot of empathy and if you want to be a martyr who takes crap from a NPD mom, then good for you. But the rest of us realize that we need to put ourselves first and I refuse to be my mom's emotional punching bag (used to be both physical and emotional).[/quote]
