67. The Triangulation Trap: How Narcissistic Mothers Pull You Away from Family

We’re diving into triangulation—when your mother pulls you into conflicts and pits you against your father, siblings, or even extended family. If you’ve ever felt like you were caught in the middle, unsure of who to trust or what’s real, listen in. We’re talking about how narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers use triangulation to control and manipulate family dynamics, and more importantly, how you can start recognizing these toxic patterns and reclaim your truth.  In this episode, we cover: What triangulation is and how it shows up in family dynamics How to honor your truth and set healthy boundaries with your mother Practical examples of boundary-setting and self-validation Steps you can take today to start healing from these painful patterns If this resonates with you, and you’re ready for more support, I’d love for you to join Tuesday Group, where Mayhem daughters come together to work through these exact challenges.
