Do you have a narcissistic mother? Children of narcissistic parents go through their lives feeling confused and lost, and in search of love, they never received from home. They expect their mothers to nurture and support them, but when they are dealing with narcissistic mothers, they arent given the love and support that healthy parents provide

I don't know anyone will notice this comment but I would really need some opinion on what I am going through.
For context, I'm an Indian and it is common in our culture to take care of your parents which I happily oblige.
Long story short, I live on my own and earning to be the sole bread owner for the family (my mother and younger brother who lives in another city) and for myself.
I've been struggling really hard, my dad died of cancer few years back. I took care of all the medical bills back then, quit my studies, moved out of my safe place and have been earning and providing for them ever since; be it medical bills, education fees, ration, bills everything.
Now, we had an old house and it was mutually decided that we sell that, get a better home for my mother and split the remaining amount amongst us for further studies, marriage or miscellaneous expenditure.
Now, after getting settled and well. She kept all the money which I didn't mind back then. I am still providing for her and my younger brother.
Despite all the little jabs and toxic parenting, i kept my faith that if i am there for her, she would be too (again a cultural thing, parents tend to take care of their children.
But now that i am planning to get married and my future husband and I are both from very humble family, we decided to pitch in our money and take some help from our parents(I would never have asked her but i did because i know she kept our shares too and it would be helpful for me as Hindu marriages cost a lot, even the simplest ones.
But she not only denied to give it, she is expecting me to continue providing for her from my salary (because of which i am not able to save a single penny, will not help me with the funds and yelled and cried accusing me of being a failure of a daughter and that i am selfish and talking like a business person who wants give and take relationship with her.
Needless to say i didn't push further, i decided to save whatever little i can from my own end, ofcourse my future husband is doing the same and saving up. if nothing happens we will end up getting a simple registry marriage.
I will be happy still but it hurts to see her do me so dirty where all these years i kept trusting her. Feels like I'm an orphan.
Am I wrong to think that way? Am i exaggerating things and am really selfish like she said. i really don't know. If anyone reads this and let me know that it was unfair of me to ask, i will apologize to her and let it go

My mother refuse to change no matter what she is going thru because of her own narcissistic ways of thinking and behavior, no matter how many ppl leaves her bcuz of it no mattwr how much it pains her to be alone, she still refuse to realize her narcissistic way of leading a life nd the fact she openly admits to only only n only think for herself, care about herself but no one else no matter what her husband is GOING thru no matter what her daughter her son is going thru she doesnt care. She still cares only n only about herself nd only prays for herself but no one nd openly admits to it nd is proud about it too nd think its the onlyyy right way for her. She's 64, she has been selfish her whole life while my dad is completely the opposite. She got married at 19 nd has been selfish forever nd at 64y/o she still think thinking about herself, praying about only herself n caring for only herself is truly the only way to live but she'll always complain of her timelines that how unhappy nd miserable nd lonely she is nd when anyone talks to her about being selfish she says she cannot care for anyone but her she carea about noone but onlyyy herself nd wont ever change, she proudly claims to stay this way even tho she's miserable alone nd no one wants to talk to her. This is an absolute helpless situation for me nd my family when it comes her. My brother has given up, doesn't care, busy with his new family he got married not long ago he left home avoids mom n dont care. Now im the only child who wont give up n still fighting for good changes but there's noooo way my mom thinks that caring about others like her child n her family is going to bring her peace, she never did before nd she thinks staying 100% selfish is the right way even tho she's miserable nd has no happiness. Why is she thinking this way? I dont understand one bit, my dad n i are completely the opposite that's why im literally not getting even a tiny closure for why she wants to be extremely dmonicly selfish even tho she doesnt benefit from it. Its been more than a decade nd im still looking for closures!

1) My mum will beat me up when I don't top the class. She'll belittle my younger brother comparing him against me and belittle me comparing me against some friend's aunt's son's daughter or whatever imaginary person.
2) She's a control freak, I was studious and keep good company, yet she'll even bar me from going class chalets even when my form teacher is around!
3) She'll always play victim by saying I'm a bad kid when I'm much more obedient than most kids out there. She gain sympathy at my expense.
4) Her concern is conditional on how much I earn, whether I can pay for this and that or not
5) I can have the shittiest day at work, and recently I'm super stressed with being jobless and being rejected countless times. Yet all she do is womensplain about how I do my chores, where I put my own stuff, and how tough her life is being a housewife all her life when almost all my friends' mums do some kind of work to help out with the finances
6) She will beat me up when younger for no reason, just because of her ego and horrible temper. Even my grandparents and sometimes my dad thinks she's crazy.
7) as above
8) Whenever she's unhappy she'll bring up anything that happened many years ago. Which is exactly why I do my very best not to talk to her and put up with all her unnecessary nagging so as not to get into any arguments.
9) Refer to 6. Because I ignore her so much, my dad is the one she turns to. Oh well he chose his wife, I didn't choose my mum
10) Whenever we quarrel she'll use the you can move out of th house card. And when I told them I'm planning to, she asks me to stay. Why? Because she's after my contribution. I told her she can rent out my room, rentals are pretty good where I stay, but she refused. Why? Because her (and my dad) ego will not allow them to tell others they have to resort to renting a room out to make ends meet.
She should be lucky that I did not abandon her. Though deep down I really hope she and my dad leave this world ASAP

A lot of boxes ticked. Not all directed at me alone but. In general to the family dynamic a lot seems to line up. She's getting better now but I don't put faith into it from past false promises and treatment, but I always got put down (slapped once, a fear tactic I understand now) for speaking out against her double standards for house keeping when she wanted to be the home maker of the family and her past behavior. No real job. And I get back lash from siblings for the way I do dishes and other small stuff? At least I'm doing them. I'm finally letting myself letgo of that codependence I thought I wanted and needed from a good portion of my family. Realizing I don't HAVE TO forgive everyone and everything. I have support and trusted ones. but I won't attempt anymore to reestablish with people who can't navigate their own troubles without dragging me down. A lot of these videos helped me to recognize some of these behaviors and why they might be portrayed with a lot of my family and relationships to help my sympathize and give them time and space or encouragement. And I hope that I can look back may I ever need them again, thanks for reading if you have. There is always someone out there who can listen and give advice guys, I'm extremely lucky to have people I do. Don't lose faith in yourself.

My mom likes to tell people Ive put hands on her (which has never happened) to paint me out to be a terrible child and dangerous person to garner sympathy from people as shes financially, mentally, and physically abused/ exploited me. Shes tried to frame me after stealing a lot of money from our family and after putting my eldest brother in prison. Everyone in my family knows that shes done it and that I never do the things she accuses me of. Shes openly slandered a rape victim who died from her injuries who happened to be a family friend, and because of this no one in the family wants to talk to her or associate with her, but she somehow finds a way to say I had something to do with it. Shes a pathological liar and will always in her mind be the victim. She would rather cut her own childrens throats than to admit that shes a messed up person. I wouldnt wish this kind of mother on anyone and Im sorry to anyone who has to endure this and please know that its not your fault and that there is something fundamentally wrong with her, you only had the misfortune of being born to her. Dont let her change the way you value yourself, sometimes you just have to gray rock and keep it pushing. Someone who cant/wont change is never worth your dignity.

My wife and I just watched this video, and I seriously wanted to cry. My mother is indeed a control freak who sees me as an extension of her own, and she used to scream at me a lot, and she even hit me until I was 10 years old. So I did what she told me because I feared she would scream at me. I also feel like her love is conditional, as in she'd love me only if I did what she expects me to do. Furthermore, ever since I began my relationship with my wife, my mother never saw our relationship in a positive light, and we kept distance from her. Moreover, she acts like nothing is her fault. She wants me all to herself and she always tried to destroy my relationship with my wife. She even threatened to boycott our wedding and she even tried to ruin it. We eventually had no choice but to block her in all sorts of media. I've never encountered anyone so manipulative like my mother. I seriously feel like I don't have a mother anymore. When I was 14 years old, I even considered committing suicide because of her constant screaming because I got a score of 77 in an exam.

I have trouble growing up. Grow up with a mom and a stepdad. I have cater to their need and put their own above mine. They criticize me always and compare me to my other siblings. They make it obvious that they less like me. But you know i don't love them like supercrazy but still respect them and still think of gratitude of what they provided me. Many kids don't have the same resources and it's a blessing you got to eat, wear and go to treats whereas others been deprived of. Sad to say most people who said their parents are narcs, ended as narcs themselves. Before you comment nasty stuff towards your parents. Prove yourself your a different parent or else what a hypocrite you become. Show respect, learn gratitude and learn forgiveness cause we all have flaws. No matter how someone do shit on you it's not wise to be a shit yourself.

I was the golden child but there is harmful effects in that of itself. It made my siblings gain a bond with each other and I was forced to bond with her (which you cant without harm, also it cause me to be unaware of what happened in my siblings lives, I was separated. So when my brother died from su1c1de I was in complete shock. I knew he was struggling but my mom shielded me from him because he was mentally Ill or manipulated now that hes gone, my sister no longer living with us, I am now her target. I actually told her yesterday that I no longer want to see her (I am with my dad and step mom who are great people)

A couple things Number one: Im 32 years old and been dealing with this my whole life (and yes, I have life long issues as a result) Number two: My mother is always mean or very passive aggressive towards me yet I am constantly doing things to try and please her and get her approval and Number Three: Why the eff cant I stop doing this? Why do I put myself through this? I dont really have feelings that much about anything in life; funerals dont even get me down that much But, mother is the only person that actually makes me feel bad or upset or angry, WHY?
reply

Unfortunately also a narcissistic mother. I always thought something wasn't right and always wanted to make it right for her but it was never good enough no matter what I did. Then I met my ex, I recognized patterns but couldn't place it. After a very intense period of emotion and confusion, I found out that I have always been dealing with narcissists and that I am codependent. I was at my lowest point but now I'm finally going to take steps and therapy to become myself.
reply

My mom was extremely possessive and would basically pitch a fit if I showed interest in making friends or romantic partners. I didnt have my first girlfriend till I was 29 (just 2 1/2 months from 30. I know this isnt a nice thing to say, but Im truthfully glad she died in 2021. If she had lived, she would have done everything in her power to break us up, and I was frankly sick of her shit. I did love her, but her narcissism was becoming worse and worse the older she got.
reply

Everything is like this expect number 10. She wants me to leave quicker and much further away from her. My little brother is 15 years old and she is planning to go live with her boyfriend and leave my brother with my father to care of alone. Truly the worst kind of mother! I am lucky to go to university but my brother isn't. I don't even have any kind of happy memories when I think about her. Or I might have soma but the sad ones are way to op.
reply

Im 37 and I finally found out it isnt normal that this sht happened to me.
All my life I thought it was me who was a wrong and useless human and when I finally woke up and dared to judge back I see a dirty manipulative mother who just wants to control me and installs chaos in everything I do.
All my life I wondered WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.
Its a jealous mother who doesnt want me to be happy and succesfull.
I HATE HER

reply

Yes my mother is the one who never wants me to go lived my own life or have my own family. She started calling me more then 20 times non stop when ever I go out for anything. Im 61 years older and Im being apart from my wife over 10 longest years of my life. She doesnt care if i cried or either died. All she cares herself all life long. Is someone can help me out of this situation seriously?
reply

I think all moms are like this because they sacrificed their bodies to give birth to us, it's like I owe my life to her now. I MEAN IT'S NOT MY FAULT I WAS BORN. This makes me think the married life is not for me. I don't wanna deal with women like her and there is a high chance my future wife will be like this in parenthood. F my mom.
reply

Like i agree parents are the sweetest they love us and everything but when people try to excessively control me it just tends to drain me. Its sad to say that they're a narcissist like not purposely but the way they react to different emotions its not nice all the time sometimes they're good and sometimes they're not nobody is perfect
reply

4, 5, 6, 7 are quite accurate but my mom knows how to pretend really well, whenever its convenient then makes me feel like Im insane for noticing these things about her, like Im too sensitive and unstable. I notice every time I call her out on her bs shes suddenly sick, in pain, and too busy for me, will be cold as ice and ignore me.
reply

The worst part is how despite knowing all about her nature, I still crave the attention, love and empathy I never got from her and would do anything to receive it. She's not that way with my brother though. She would die for him and is more or less available for him. I envy people with emotionally available mothers.
reply

Yess having over protective parents does sometimes make me feel too much also like when zero autonomy is given its just too much to handle. Its sad they don't show empathy anymore, they really don't understand the fact that im a human being with feelings not a kid who you can control
reply

Anyone elses mom when calling and sounding like the perfect, loving and caring mother, a picture perfect relationship, and you know at that moment that she is not alone and all is just a fake act and if calling 5 min later, can be the coldest person talking to you or is it just mine?
reply

4: 00 i remember there being seval times ive tried to tell my mother id like to get checked for different mental disorders, and every time i tried she would tell me oh i do that alot too! I must be [ex. disorder] too! and would laugh it off. She only ever got me tested for adhd.
reply

My mom thinks she is not mean to me, every time she asks me if shes mean I say no, your the nicest mom ever so I dont hurt her feelings. But when I ask her ANYTHING she sits there and ignores me, if I say mom to many times she gets mad and sometimes slaps me. Its sad
reply

I lost my mother a few days ago. Even though this video describes her but she had her own way of loving me as well. Have you ever thought of healing her? Perhaps she's been insecure and needs more confirmation of your love. Don't regret losing mom like I do.
reply

I dont think Ive ever seen my mother use the harsh voice/language Ive seen her use on me and my brother with any other person EVER. Some the harshest words/insults and the angriest tone Ive ever seen her take with anyone were with me and him.
