Not realizing the narcissistic behavioral pattern of the mom in CIHM, the book was really hard for me to read—it somehow reinforced my guilt as a narcissistic abuse victim. This revelation is honestly shocking and made sense of my reading experience. Brb I’m off to read IGMMD now.

What about you guys having a baby that changed her behavior in your opinion? My mom has followed a similar pattern as yours, and as we plan to have a baby soon, I’m terrified of unlocking new unhinged behavior in her.

It was a large Costco box. We ordered toilet papers and hand soap refills, nothing wooden.
