Because narcissistic mothers are often deceptive, manipulative, and self-serving, their behavior can make it incredibly difficult to trust anyone

You may have learned to be hyper-vigilant and suspicious of others’ motives, constantly expecting betrayal or emotional manipulation. Trusting people in your life, even when they have your best interests at heart, can feel like an overwhelming challenge.

This week, we'll explore how trust issues show up in our lives today.

Prompts for consideration:

• Can you recall a time when you felt completely betrayed or deceived by your mother?
• How do you react when someone in your life makes a mistake or disappoints you?

Ever felt like your mother’s love came with a price tag?

Like your worth depended on how well you played the role she cast for you? Growing up with a narcissistic mother meant walking on eggshells, suppressing your own needs, and never quite feeling enough. The damage runs deep, but it’s real—and you don’t have to face it alone.

Children of narcissistic mothers often develop certain thought and behavior patterns as a result of their upbringing

Each week, we will unpack symptoms like fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, and attraction to toxic relationships.

Not every child of a narcissistic mother will experience all of these symptoms, and that’s okay. But seeing how these patterns show up in others’ lives can help us recognize their impact on our own, ultimately reminding us that we are not alone in our experiences.

Prompts for consideration:

• How did your mother react when you expressed emotions like sadness or anger?

• What’s something you’ve struggled to believe about yourself because of the way she treated you?
