Publisher's Summary

You are moments away from learning how to stop your mother’s narcissistic behavior from getting through to you, to protect yourself from emotional abuse, get your sanity back, move on, heal, and build new boundaries!

The bond between a parent and a child is supposed to be special; it is supposed to be formed on the basis of unconditional love and support. Anything aside from this is a toxic relationship. 

But if you dread any contact you have with your mother because a phone call from her is usually a roller coaster as she:

  • Always has to criticize you even when unnecessary
  • Manipulates you
  • Has to get her way all the time with complete lack of empathy
  • Never sees anything good you do
  • Is always humiliating you in front of people
  • Is passively aggressive towards you
  • Makes mean and negative comments about you
  • Has no respect for your personal boundaries
  • Never takes responsibility
  • And plays victim all the time even when she is wrong by turning things around to make them about her

It is clear that what you have with your mother is not a healthy relationship. She may play victim and paint a rosy image that you have with her but as an "insider", you can see right through her for who she is; a canning, manipulative and lying narcissist that cares less about anyone else. 

I know you are wondering....

  • But what do you do about it; after all, she’s your mother?
  • How can you stop her manipulative advances towards you?
  • How can you make her to see and understand herself for who she is, the way you see her?
  • How can you unchain yourself from her claws and control so that you can have independence of mind and thought and finally be happy?
  • How can you build boundaries that last in your relationship with your mother?
  • Do you have to abandon her and if yes, how do you develop the courage to cut ties if you have to?
  • How do you ‘put your foot down’ to stop all the manipulation, love bombing, gaslighting, neglect, isolation, verbal abuse, and exploitation by your own mother?

If you have these and other related questions, this book is specially for you so keep reading. It covers everything about dealing with narcissistic manners without losing your mind and sanity in the process!

More precisely, the book will teach you:

  • The basics of narcissistic tendencies in mothers, including how they manifest as well as how they affect children (the victims) with their narcissistic tendencies
  • How to spot narcissistic tendencies in your mother
  • Covert narcissistic mothers and teenagers
  • Whether or not your narcissist mother can recover from their narcissistic tendencies
  • The things narcissistic mothers say to their children for mental manipulation and to control them
  • The connection between narcissism and upbringing
  • How you can protect yourself from emotional abuse

excellent book

Straightforward content and answers. Sometimes the truth is shocking, so do like me, take a break to do the exercises and take notes, this has helped me enormously to understand and visualize the spiral in which we are sometimes caught. This book also helps us understand what motivates and delights our narcissistic mother…and then pushes us to look at who we are as a mother or how we would like to be treated. Personally, this book also made me stop and look at the people around me and their narcissistic characteristics. I now understand the cause of my lack of trust in others, my inability to accept all forms of lies, from the most trivial to those that are excessive. I have given conferences on this subject and nothing has been so concrete, helping, both on a personal and psychological level. Now I just have to try to see people as they are, without being wary of them, but quite simply by managing to impose my limits and respect them. Thanks to the author for this wonderful book and which I hope will help people just like me.


Du contenu et des réponses sans détour. Parfois la vérité choque, alors faite comme moi, prenez une pause pour faire les exercices et prendre des notes cela m'a aidé pour ma part, énormément à comprendre et visualiser dans l’engrenage dans lequel nous sommes parfois pris. Ce livre nous aide aussi à comprendre ce qui motive et réjouie nôtre mère narcissique… et ensuite nous pousse à regarder qui nous sommes en tant que mère ou comment aimerions-nous être traité. Personnellement, ce livre m’a aussi fait arrêter et regarder les personnes qui m’entourent ainsi que leurs caractéristiques narcissiques. Je comprends maintenant la cause de mon manque de confiance envers les autres, mon incapacité à accepter toutes les forme de mensonges des plus anodins autant que ceux qui sont démesurés. J’ai fait des lectures à ce sujet et rien n’a été aussi concret, aidant, autant sur le plan personnel que psychologique. Maintenant, il me reste à essayer de voir les gens tel qu’il sont, sans pour autant m’en méfié, mais tout simplement en réussissant à imposer mes limites et les respecter. Merci à l’auteur pour ce merveilleux livre et qui je l’espère, aidera des personnes tout comme moi.

A must listen for those who are traumatized by their Narc mom

I feel much more at peace now understanding why I get so triggered when it comes to love and intimacy. I started my healing journey 3 years ago because I wanted to be a good mom and realized I needed help to undo the ways of thinking my mom instilled upon me. This book has helped me feel less alone with my really tough feelings around my mother
