When your own mother shames and abuses you mentally, emotionally, and physically, it can be hard to find your confidence and sense of self as an adult. I did not realize my mother had narcissistic qualities until I was in my mid 20s. I was in therapy to try to figure out why I had a pattern of getting myself into toxic relationships over and over again, and I realized where I'd gotten the original belief that I deserved abuse from. My own mother. After a couple of years of trying to set boundaries and work on the relationship, I ended up going no-contact, but I understand that is not an option for many people. I can help you navigate setting boundaries, learning to gray rock, and breaking the shame hold your narcissistic parent has on you. I can help you navigate going no-contact or implementing modified contact with healthy boundaries.
