Growing up with a difficult or narcissistic mum can be hard enough. Having people minimise your childhood because “she’s your mum” can make you question your own experience too.
Therapy and motherhood have made me look differently at the things I once thought were normal — the mother wound, childhood trauma, dysfunctional family patterns and generational cycles I’m now determined not to repeat with my own daughters. 🤍
If you grew up with a difficult mum and you’re now trying to do things differently, SEND this to the person who actually gets it — and follow @healingdoesntlie. You’ve found your people. 🤍

People have very strong beliefs about motherhood and and when it differs from that, it’s like it’s beyond their scope of understanding to see it any other way. But you know and that’s what matters ❤️

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what happened. It’s being told it shouldn’t have hurt.❤️

You’re breaking cycles so your daughters don’t have to carry this. That’s powerful. You’ve found your people here.❤️

It’s so validating to see this shared—realizing the patterns is the first step toward breaking them and healing.

If you grew up with a mum who was unkind. How did this affect you? #narcsurvivor
