Do you have narcissistic family members?

It's been 12 years since I moved out of that toxic environment, I remember her saying. Oh you will be back begging because you will never manage a life on your own.
12 years and counting! Let her control my other siblings and live through them.
I always find ways to respect her but also stay the hell far away as possible.

I've decided long ago, there is something wrong with her.... when she started competing with me. That's disgusting no mother should compete with her own daughter.

My mom...I know she didn't choose to be that way, but it brought down my self identity to almost zero. I feel inhuman Sometimes. She'd yell at me and criticize EVERY thing I did, nearly daily. It made me have extreme self doubt into adulthood. If I even disagree with anything she says, she'll say, 'What you think you're PERFECT?' OR, Do you want me to DIE then????. Have some RESPECT FOR YOUR MOTHER. (Over saying that you didn't do something that she said you did)

@Coralmist That rings a bell, with the guilt trip followed by an insult.
🤗 I hope you find ways to heal
Be there for your self!
