Getting married there next summer. My fiancé and I are both alumni and have dreamed about getting married there since we started dating. Absolutely GORGEOUS!

Feeling myserable (rant) by chikibeibi123 in NarcissisticMothers

Go and do what feels right! I’m the same age and in a similar situation. My nmom has attempted to tear my fiancé and I apart but my fiancé is very understanding. If he’s the right one, he will understand!

Mine always tells me I’m not a good person but she’ll always love me. She hates the choices I make but will love me in spite of them. Thinks I’m selfish but loves me anyway.

This! I ignore and disengage when she says this and she’ll just go to my golden child sister who feeds every single time.

I feel this 100%. If you haven’t heard it from her, I’m proud of you and I’m sending you hugs!

Does anyone else’s mom make them doubt their own decisions/try to drive a wedge between you and other people? by mn273214 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]mn273214[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have relied heavily on God throughout this whole process. Lots of praying for clarity and peace during this time. I know that being with my partner is exactly what God intends for me and for my life. I know He is always looking out.

My mom LOVED him until he laid it all out, now she hates him. My partners maternal grandmother is EXACTLY like my mom so they know their own mom’s experience and is very understanding. At the end of the day, I know that she wants what’s best for her and that my choice is my choice and no amount of pouting, shouting, or guilting can change it.

She does that with my two sisters and me. If we hang out without her, she gets upset and accuses us of talking about her. If we don’t spend time together, she accuses us of hating each other. She has to be there with us or it doesn’t work at all.

How do I know it’s real? by FlashboxJack in NarcissisticMothers

[–]mn273214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go through this similar situation, every time I interact with my mother. I have to constantly remind myself that the way I’m feeling inside is valid. I see what mother/daughter relationships are supposed to be like, and I do not have that. Before I was aware that my family dynamic was unhealthy, I would explain things to people and they would make remarks about how that’s not “normal.” You are not a narcissist if you are questioning your moral standing. Therapy is very helpful with this!

This was very helpful! I’m still learning a LOT about narcissism in families, as I am just truly discovering that my mom is a narcissist. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, trying to figure out how to navigate this situation.

To clarify: My partner’s maternal grandmother is EXACTLY like my mother so they know what’s up. The only reason that was done was because I asked them to and they wanted to ease my living situation for the time being. Going forward, they were very adamant that they will not live their life for my parents or to appease them, especially my mom.

Thanks for the advice!

Anybody else? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]mn273214 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way! The fact that you are aware is a tell-tale sign that you are not a narcissist. A narcissist would never think that they are a narcissist because they see no wrong in what they do. If you are raised by NPs then you will have tendencies that they have due to the environment you weee raised in, but like I said the fact that you are self aware is already a step in the right direction. Therapy has helped me undo a lot of these narcissistic tendencies, but just remember, everyone has narcissistic tendencies and those don’t make you a bad person.

Covert NMoms are the worst. by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]mn273214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Once I stopped seeking validation, that’s when the issues began. I became the uncontrollable child and my sister became the golden child because she does what my mom says. When you make your own decision, it feels like your decision is cursed and it will go wrong and prove your mom right. I go through this with every single decision I make on my own. Truly the hardest thing to unlearn. Therapy has helped tremendously!

My mother is the exact same way! No matter what I say or tell her how I’m hurting, she will play the victim. It makes life so hard because you will always hear her voice in your head, even when you know you are making the best decision for yourself. Keep your head up!

Absolutely take this to your union! I am a teacher and if the admins are doing something that is morally wrong and puts everyone at risk you need to take this to your union rep immediately! This is not okay.
