The narcissistic mother is a strange beast, and while they still possess the same traits and characteristics as any other narcissist, their position in our lives makes the damage that they do even more painful and difficult to deal with. But why do they do it? Are they heartless? Let’s find out.

The Narcissist Doesn’t Think They Have Any Children

The narcissistic mother doesn’t see you as her child that she should provide for or look after, she sees you as her mother or father.

This is how they build relationships with their children; they create a shared delusion where they imagine that the other person is their parent and must continue to do things for them as proof of their love.

Constant LARPing

While role-playing as the baby of their own child that they now no longer care for, the child will be forced to become the adult to their play-acting parent by age nine or ten at the latest.

Then the narcissist must re-enact their failed childhood again and again with you, desperately trying to get it right so that they can finally grow up.
