​Being raised by a mother who has narcissistic traits, or a full-blown narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is particularly painful, for the following reasons:

  • We don't learn how to realistically define ourselves

  •  We question our perception of reality

  • We learn to take care of others, not ourselves

  • We have fears about raising our children

  • We experience a sense of emptiness

  • We are self-critical
