[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some of the things narcissistic mothers say and do?[/quote]

She writes on the second page of the pad of paper by the telephone a long “fictional” story about someone with a first initial that’s the same as yours and it describes in detail explicit criticisms of your awkwardly styled hair and embarrassing outfit that you wore to your first middle school dance. Except that she never taught you to do your hair and buys all of your clothing.

Narcissistic mothers see their children as extensions of themselves and competition at the same time, so you’re constantly caught bring both a projection of their lost dreams for themselves and their self-loathing.[/quote]

I posted this and I should add after seeing other posts that my mother is also a clinical psychologist, although she hasn’t practiced in a while. I think many narcissists seek out similar professions because they do have a unconscious hunch that something is off with their lives, but they assume it is caused by everyone around them so they seek out psychology as a way to try to understand others. But they can never see what every distorted interaction they experience has in common- them!

My psychologist narcissist mother’s worst use of her “professional” training was circumventing medical privacy laws and getting my therapist in college to release all of his notes to her. I was financially independent and had not signed releases. I was too young and overwhelmed to take action against the two of them. I never sought professional help again.[/quote]
