[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP --I empathize with you and your sister. And, I think that it's very common for daughters of narcissistic mothers to keep hoping for that unconditional love. It is such a profound emptiness not to have had that from one's own mother. I can't tell you how long I kept beating my head against that particular stone wall. I'm over 50 now and my mother has been gone for 10 years. She never changed. They usually don't. Personally, I very much disagree with what appears to be the approach your sister's therapist is taking. I recommend the book "Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers" by Karyl McBride, PhD. You and/ or your sister may want to consider EMDR therapy at some point (to help you work through the developmental trauma you experienced).[/quote] I am the pp and this is exactly what I was trying to said: do not try to change your parents, do not demand an apology. Change yourself![/quote]
