I know she tried to do her best with her kids but, in turn, one of her daughters (one of my nieces) is quite pissed off with my sister (my mom and my sis both passed away).
Basically, I think my mom was a narcissist. But I think her narcissism was a defense. She had a very traumatic childhood. I think my mom somehow damaged my sister abilities, as well. Mine, as well, but I did not have children, so I do not know how much I got.
I do not know if you can picture why your parents exercised a bad parenting. But maybe if you can find out, it will ease your pain a bit. It worked for me. But, of course, I continue to be somebody with problems
I am sending you a big hug
Thanks Clara, none of my peers (apart from some online) had parents with such issues of lack of affection and Narcissism.. I've thought about whether the parental units experienced abuse from their parents, and I'm almost certain they did not..(the father was the "golden child" and I was the "scapegoat".) But their own relationship was "disturbed" and both of them had .... siblings
