How to Deal with a Narcissistic Mother?
“Hi Dr. Ana, do you have any advice on how to deal with a narcissistic parent? I am an adult daughter with her own life, but my narcissistic mother is making things miserable by constantly criticizing and belittling me and trying to still control everything in my world and make it about her. I appreciate it!”
I am sorry to hear you are struggling with this. It must be difficult for you.
This type of problem usually appears because there are no clear boundaries between you and your mother. I strongly recommend that you seek the support of a therapist. The therapist will help you define what your boundaries are, communicate them to your mum, and be prepared to enforce consequences if your boundaries are crossed. The therapist will also give you the tools to manage your emotions and thoughts.
I would be very happy to help you find a therapist that will understand your needs.
I wish you the very best.
Ana
