7. Envy.
Narcissistic mothers are envious. This is a big one; they are pathologically envious, especially of their daughters, stepdaughters, or daughters-in-law. She is famous for trying to steal the spotlight from others, and ruin or spoil whatever she’s envious of. Narcissistic mothers like to be the center of attention, and when a younger, prettier more fertile, and youthful female threatens to steal that attention from her, it angers her. She is incredibly envious of anyone she perceives as better than her.
8. Grudges.
Narcissistic mothers can carry a grudge like no one business. They can carry a grudge for years over something that is completely insignificant. If someone slights them or doesn’t do what they think should be done or chooses a different lifestyle choice, this is going to be a problem. Remember, these women are controlling, especially with their own children.
So if you make a decision that they disagree with, they’re gonna harbor resentment indefinitely. They aren’t people who understand forgive and forget. If they feel disrespected by you or if you offend them somehow, chances are, you will not ever be forgiven, and it doesn’t matter how insignificant it is. Trust me, they will throw this in your face for years to come.
Children raised by a narcissistic parent, whether it’s a mother or a father, learn very early on that pleasing that parent is the only way to receive love and affection. Narcissistic parents don’t understand the definition of unconditional love. These children grow up missing the nurturing love that should be freely given to them. They feel little or no emotional attachment or closeness to the parent.
It’s incredibly confusing and damaging to these kids. These parents are so super focused on themselves that they are just unable to sympathize with their children, their plights, and their struggles. They’re just blind when it comes to seeing situations from their children’s viewpoint.
