Your mother is supposed to protect you and mind you..

- and here she is turning on you. There is no protection against it.

There are no limits to what they'll do or say in the throes of their rage. They'll eviserate your personality, your very Self. It's like soul- annihilation. It's so destructive and vicious. It's a self-esteem destroyer.

Narcissistic Mothers have many subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - forms of abuse.

She lies to us and about us. She insults us, sometimes so subtly that we're left wondering if we imagined it. Sometimes the insults are wrapped in a cloak of concern, "Poor you, you're always so confused".

She demeans us and doesn't respect us whatsoever.

She ignores us when it suits her and overwhelms us what that suits her.

She manipulates us, our feelings and our situations for her pleasure.

She controls us, using us as a pawn to get her narcissistic supply.
She ignores our personal boundaries, both physical and emotional. She treats us as an object, only existing for her gratification. She denies our basic existence, our very humanity.
She can't be trusted. She says one thing one day, and another the next.
She misuses your vulnerabilities. She knows them, as your mother.
