You can succeed and have a happy life even if you had no support at home.
If my own mom doesn’t love me, then I must be unlovable and not worth love. This is a thought that I have struggled with for my whole life. My Mom never liked me and always thought of me as “bad”. Every time something good would happen in my life, my Mom would be mad and remind me of how she felt about me which was never positive. My happiness caused her unhappiness and she would try to sabotage anything good that happened to me. Leading to the question of, why? I suspect my Mother has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but I only came to this realization in my late 30’s. And I lived my whole life thinking I was a terrible person because my Mom said so.
We are taught that a mom’s love is unconditional. They are there to love, you, guide you, be your cheering squad and safety net in life. So, what happens when this is not the case? What happens if your mom criticizes you all the time, puts you down and talks negatively about you to others? Well, I can tell you. You start believing it! That is what happened to me, as I felt like no matter what I did, it was never good enough. Regardless of any compliments I received from other people, I could not believe them because my Mother thought the opposite.
This book will cover a lot including what is a narcissist and relationships with narcissist mothers. An easy read to guide you in healing, recovering from childhood trauma with the ultimate goal of finding happiness!
