Sorry you experienced this as well. Mine I think had undiagnosed BPD as well as narcissism. She could be nice but then incredibly cruel. I'm shocked I survived but then I did have 2 years of therapy right after leaving home at 19.

Honestly I knew when I was 5 that I would one day be describing the interactions with my mother on a therapist's couch. I knew pretty early what a therapist was, and I wanted one!
