For me, the business of being "trained" was part of being raised by someone who was narcissistic. That's what I think. How would a child gain self-esteem when being raised by someone who is completely self-absorbed, abusive and who gives no loving feedback or validation to a child?

Agree completely, I walked away believing "if your own mother doesn't value you, you must really not have any value". Of course now I don't believe this anymore.
