54. When Your Narcissistic Mother Was Both Your Savior and Tormentor

This week, we delve into the confusing reality of having a narcissistic mother that wasn’t all bad. Many daughters grapple with the emotional confusion of having a mother who was both abusive and also the primary caregiver. Listen in as I work to help Melanie reconcile these mixed feelings, manage the disconnect between love and abuse, and find a path towards healing. This is the emotional roller coaster that comes with being the daughter of a narcissistic mother.
