Mine is Disorganized Fearful Avoidant.

I desire love/relationship, but I don't trust myself to choose safely. (I was adopted by a narcissist woman)

I am very easily hurt. The hardest (non)relationship is with my adult children. They can be awful.

But imagine being raised by a mother with this attachment style...

They were my entire world when they were young. Up until recently, I enjoyed being with them.

How do you heal from this?

Hello Deee. I'm sorry you are struggling. It must be
alot to deal with. I do hear an open, honest assessment though. You really seem to know yourself. I think that is a good quality to have. It sounds like you have nice memories of times ago when your children were growing up. I hope you can find an answer to your question. My thoughts will be with you through your journey. shaggy

Hi Dee,

So sorry you had to deal with a narcissist. That is awful. My heart goes out to you.

You could check your library for these books:

"Toxic Parents" by Susan Forward

"You're Not Crazy, It's Your Mother" by Danu Morrigan

They might help??
