Narcissistic Mothers (& Toxic, Alcoholic Parents): Our Proof That Monsters Do Exist (3 Author Anthology) Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 80 ratings

Is there a narcissistic mother on the rampage in YOUR life?

Extremely self-centered, narcissistic mothers can make life a living hell for the children who are forced to deal with them. It often doesn't matter if the child is three-years-old or sixty-three, the narcissistic monster mother can demean, criticize, embarrass, abuse, violate, hurt, neglect, cause havoc and/or just plain be mean to their own children - children who are often so starved for their mother's love, affection and acceptance, that they will lose their true selves in the process.

What's more, it doesn't seem to matter what country a person is from, life-sucking narcissistic monster mothers can be found in any culture and/or any language.

This ebook is an anthology of three separate authors' stories of the narcissistic mothers in their lives. All of them are daughters of narcissists - one is from the U.S., one is from the U.K., and the turmoils of the final author came while living in various locations within Europe. If you have a mother who torments you with her narcissistic ways, these ladies have written their stories for you to show you that you are not alone.

Compare their stories with yours and see how they may differ, yet are probably so similar in so many ways. Finally, see if the advice and actions that these three daughters offer from their experiences may make sense in your own situation with the narcissist in your life.

    Great read, could relate a great deal to the mother, the enabling, me being the care giver as a child and the dynamics of a dysfunctional family. I have tried several times to write something similar, this book was helpful to me on many levels. Thanks

    Found this very interesting & helpful. I'm having counselling myself and thought this book seemed interesting & possibly helpful, even though I don't see my own mother as a narcissist. There are however, some similarities in the actions, behaviours of the mother's in these 3 stories & my own experiences. I'm glad I've read this book & know I've a lot of work to do. But, more importantly, I am not to blame! Would recommend this book to anyone who may need it.

    Reading this book made me feel normal and that it wasn't my fault what happened growing up. I feel like I'm on the way to becoming me again and not under my mother's spell .

    Thought provoking and honest, I highly recommend this book. As someone who has been in virtually the same position as all three authors, it gives comfort and strength to read about the experiences of others

    This book is a fascinating read. Three women write about their experiences growing up with narcissistic mothers, how that hurt them as children and how they've learned to cope as adults.

    The book is split into three distinct parts, with each author writing their third of the book. The middle part is made up mostly of very short anecdotes of the author's experiences, while the other two are structured more into chapters exploring the related impact of a series of events.

    The book is deeply personal and painful, exploring the devastating effect such a mother can have on her children, along with the lessons the authors took from it. For me, the book opened my eyes to a whole world of horror. I can imagine this book being really useful to anyone who's lived through something similar.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, unique and memorable - I loved this book and those three amazing ladies
    Reviewed in Canada on 20 February 2014
    I read this book in one day, incapable to put it down till the last page. I love the writing style of the three authors and the flow of the book allowed me to read cover to cover without a break.
    What an amazing ride those three women just give me!

    First, I must say that English is a second language for me. Some books give me a hard time sometimes, not this one. I didn't need to use my dictionary so much, thanks to the three ladies who write things simply, just as they are.

    At the first page of the first story I started highlighting sentence that I feel a connection with. Now I look back at the book and I think I have more pages who are highlight than pages who are not!
    Our narcissistic mothers have a lot in common, they wear their ''Narcissistic title'' very well. I have see so many part of my life in this book, I can say for the first time of my life, that I don't feel alone anymore, it's sad to say, but it's like a comfort to see that others have live the same life as me, even if we never met, I feel like someone somewhere would be able to understand what I've been through during my whole life.

    I haven't read anything this realistic since a long time.
    Percy Halo, Rebecca Rivers and Linda Johansson are all wonderful storyteller. The dynamics between ''daughter-mother'' are very well explain in each story. The drama and relationships between them is riveting.
    It is at times very touching, frustrating and disturbing but so true. They pictured the real life and all the baggage they are left to deal with as adults.
    Be prepared to be shocked and saddened by some of what you read. You feel every emotion that the writers intended you to feel.

    I really liked the idea of the book. It was so interesting and unique.
    One of the most CAPTIVATING and GRIPPING books I've read since a long time. A truly unforgettable stories. It's worth every penny and every minute.

    Thanks for telling us your stories ladies, I wish to all of you the best life has to offer, you all deserve it.

    5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

    Reviewed in the United States on 7 January 2013
    This was an excellent book. It gave me a better understanding of narcissistic personality disorder, and what children go through daily with narcissistic mothers. I'm sure all mental disorders are difficult for the family, but narcissism can be very deceiving. One minute, all seems calm and normal, and the next minute, the mother is in a rage or does something mean to embarrass or demean her children. Narcissistic mothers are not capable of loving or nurturing and their poor children go through life constantly striving to earn their mother's love. The stories are about the adult children looking back on incidents in their lives that were especially upsetting to them. Their stories are well written and heart-wrenching. Reading about their experiences helped me realize that my relationship with my own mother was pretty good. Of course, there were times when we had major disagreements, as all children do with their parents. However, I know that I was truly blessed to have a loving, supportive mother. Reading these stories helped me to appreciate that fact.

    Each of us have our own experiences growing up with alcoholic and mentally ill parents. They leave scars on us that only our realizing them can heal. Though we forgive them, we also learn a great deal from them. They teach us what not to be. These three stories are invaluable because it is so easy to relate to their experiences. But what makes them so wonderful is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We can attain peace, reach what we hope for, live the best and fullest life. In my case it is my mother-in-law who is the narcissist. After knowing and dealing with her for 37 years I have come to the realization that she will never change. She has never liked me or her own son and grandchildren. But that's okay because we don't need her approval or her faux love and faux concern to be complete. We are doing just fine without her. It really is her loss. For that I pity her the most.

    I am the product of a narcissistic mother. She has done some atrocious things and has said some devastating things to me. I will be in therapy for a very long time due to the damage she has single-handedly caused. I am dealing, at 58 years old, with her newest scheme to destroy me...she will not communicate with me nor allow the father that I adore have any contact with me. I have supposedly done something she considers worse than had I murdered someone. This book helped me realize that I need to grow up and not allow someone else's behavior to destroy me any longer. If these remarkable women can do what is necessary to find away to deal with their personal narcissist, I can find a way also. I highly recommend this book to those who are suffering from the damage caused by a narcissistic mother. It is comforting to know you are not the only one...
