[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some of the things narcissistic mothers say and do?[/quote] when you’re a 9 year old piano player learning the Happy Farmer she pushes you off the piano bench and plays a Chopin’s Polonaise.[/quote]

Thank you for this one example. I read so many posts from women who hate their mothers, but never any examples of what it is exactly, their mothers did to them. I would implore everybody to be very cautious of therapists. To be honest, the two most self-centered, insecure women I have known in my adult life felt rudderless as empty nesters and became therapists. They charge and arm and a leg, but I simply cannot imagine ever getting becoming a healthier person just by sitting down with the likes of them. My DD tried therapy a few times for her anxiety in high school and could not believe how strange the therapists she tried all were. I know this is so unsympathetic, but barring physical and sexual abuse, and real neglect, should having a mother who is basically just not that nice really ruin your life?[/quote]

I’m the PP with the piano example. How in the world did you know my mother is a psychotherapist?😂 She is! What you said is spot on. Thank you so much. The beauty of her being a psychotherapist for her was  anything that was disagreeable to her in other people meant they had some psychiatric issue- you were paranoid, had a princess complex, only saw things in black and white, etc. I never understood why she wanted to go into a helping profession but then I understood she feasted on the stories of bad marriages and loved to gossip about other people’s problems. I mean there can’t be anything mentally wrong with her, she has prestigious credentials, in psychiatry. And if you were my school friend visiting me you couldn’t call her Mrs.  , it was Dr.    .[/quote]
