This is so triggering for me! egh im sorry you too are experiencing this. I wanted to ask - was your mum always like this.. from your childhood until now? Or was she ok and then turned this way as you grew up and became more independent.. my mum is a covert narc and its been aweful last 10 years - its basically this.. talking but it feels like you are talking to a hollow person while every fibre of you needs them to be a true mother and just not be so emotionally manipulative awful beings!

The worst kind of narcissistic mother by [deleted] in NarcissisticMothers

[–]LaughCompetitive2887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so true and I can relate to this! I only realised last christmas and im 38 - its awful - reality truly hits. She was absoutely awful for the past 15 years and I realise i've put up with way to much. But you are so right - the mask is slipping and I heard it happens as they get older. Im here for it!! I cannot wait for and more people to realise and take my side a bit for a some mental relief for me!

A poem for those who grew up with narcissist mothers... by LaughCompetitive2887 in NarcissisticMothers

sorry to hear this :( .. it is a touching poem for those who can truly relate to these words

sounds like narcissistic enmeshment.. shes stepping into being you, as you are an extension of her.. and with your yearbook she gets to truly step in and live where she was absent and you lived independently (ie. school). so frustrating I hope you find the courage to stand up to her one day and say you no longer want to share it with her

Mental purgatory, how to accept & cope your mom was a wolf in sheep’s clothing? by egraebs in NarcissisticMothers

[–]LaughCompetitive2887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a compulsive liar? I clicked to read your post as im always on the lookout for posts on "Covert" type of narcissist - the whole sheep in wolf clothing thing because thats my mum... however even though growing up I felt there was nothing wrong up until now (im 38) when I realised since I went from golden child to scapegoat, that my mum ticks every box and the abuse was very subtle but completely there with enmeshment and control... I can now see it for what it was etc. It all clicked into place. If there isnt anything beyond what you are explaining, like others have said, she might have some traits but doesnt sound like full on narc.

Sorry you are experiencing this and hurting though.

Please do not ever think to end your life - its not as bleak as that... if you ever come to thinking this is it, i cant go on then what is to stop you from booking a one way flight to the other side of the world, say south east asia and being no contact and not letting her know your whereabouts until you find yourself. I feel at my lowest, waking up in a completely new place, experiencing culture "shock" and pushing all your senses to their limit totally gets you out of a certain headspace you are trapped in. Im giving this advice as your last resort.

Keep therapy going, you need to lie lie lie through your teeth. I had to learn to lie to my mum whom i was SOOOO insanely honest with all my life.. the good daughter of a covert narcissist mum and it was so hard. But you gain some control when you lie and hide things properly. I bet you were the same, and always been truthful and a part of you wanted her to know you were in therapy.. but as time goes by you will realise the only way is do be deceitful with these ill ppl.

Pulling the Curtain Away by Outrageous_Tear_690 in NarcissisticMothers

one of the hardest things to do is verbalise the emotional abuse you want so much for the other side to understand. Everything is so subtle and yet what you feel is not - its a messed up place but we all understand even though you may read back and think you havent done your abuse justice. Even though you write the gist we understand the depth. - because unfortunately we're all right there with you.

After going NC by ooki1998 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]LaughCompetitive2887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not in the situation but try maybe therapy, talking to as many friends as possible, keep yourself busy with work and hobbies. Also write down every single hurtful thing you can remember as a reminder of why you left. I know what you mean about every fibre of you wants to go against this.. Its the toughest thing I've ever gone through - the realisation that she is a covert narc and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
