    I’m 29 years old and I’m just learning that my mother’s been abusing me and my siblings for our entire lives. I can’t stop crying. It’s so traumatizing you realize that the person who was supposed to protect you is the person who has been harming you all along. My mom would put us down and belittle us and make fun of us. My mother used to call me fat and ugly and make fun of me to my siblings. If I cried, she called me “too sensitive”. She always made me do what she didn’t want to do and would say “If you don’t do this then you don’t love me” and we were forced to do so many things.

      @@user-q2Rftt8Actually we do choose our parents on the other side before we are born into this current incarnation. I have chosen to reincarnate many times and I choose my mother in this life to learn how to stand up for myself. In my prior life, I chose a mother who died in childbirth when I was young. I have chosen @busive parents in my other past life as well. When I first heard about this, I thought no way, but as I have gotten older and had many dreams about my past lives, I have found this to be true. The soul can chose all sorts of hardships in varying degrees, to learn from when we are here on this earth. For example, a soul could choose an easy life or a hard one, or a life that’s easy at first, but hard later, or vice versa, a life that’s hard at first but easy later, like my current life now. There can be repeated themes that a soul chooses to endure through many incarnations to grow and learn. Blessings.

    "You're so helpful, caring,loving, there for me, and on and on.
    I would be lieing if I sent her one of those cards. I am 46 years old and have just now ended all contact with my mother. I now know she only cares about herself. She has always cared only for herself. It took me 46 years to realize she never loved me and she is a horrible vulgar woman.

I’ve known for several years that my Dad was/is emotionally unavailable but as for my mother, it’s clicked just recently that I was her emotional support in my childhood. Many of my friends were like her - i was their psychologist and when they healed, they left me. Now it’s time to leave this pattern behind and start something new.

      In my religion, cutting out blood relatives is forbidden. Also, having the mentality of cutting everyone out will leave us with no one in our lives. I think the matter depends on the closeness of the relationship and the circumstances. In my case, if it’s a non-essential relationship, I generally move out in silence. If it’s an essential relationship, I distance myself and put up boundaries. Also, in my experience now, and having had the time to reflect, I realize that most people are not narcissistic. Rather, they have narcissistic ways of dealing with and reacting to problems. We all have some of these qualities. Anyway, I just wanted to put the message out there that cutting everyone out has not been the answer for me. It took a lot of inner work to overcome my own codependency. Now that I have a better grip on that, other people’s behavior has a less impact on me. Also, prayer is essential for safety. Hope this message helps someone.

    • @Ana-rb7ws
      @Ana-rb7ws 9 месяцев назад

      I wanted to come back here and update further because I am on a path of truth and recovery, and this requires me to speak the truth. As I mentioned earlier, cutting out people has not been, and is not, I believe, the answer. Rather, it is to look at our own actions and reflect upon ourselves. As I said before, most people are not narcissists, rather they have narcissistic ways of dealing with things. Often, this happens in response to something in our own behavior, because we too have narcissistic tendencies, as everyone does. The best action is to correct oneself instead of trying to call others out. There is a time and a place where calling others out is appropriate, but that is almost always in the minority of times. Majority of the time, the correct answer is to correct oneself. This is a long and humbling process, and really takes an honest heart to be able to look at something and realize honestly within ourselves where we went wrong and how we had contributed to the situation. Often, correcting that aspect alone resolves the situation. Life is a difficult and humbling journey, and often the problem and solution starts and ends with us. I’m not speaking about situations where flagrant abuse is going on, rather about situations where we are equal actors and players. So, take heart and do the right thing. It is hard, sometimes very hard, but it does lead to the peace and harmony that we all so desperately seek.

    The "gleeful" story of humiliation! My mother started mine when I was three days old, and she took me home from the hospital and started feeding me on a strict schedule, with strictly-rationed amounts. (This all changed to complete on-demand feeding when my brothers were born.) For the rest of her life, she would always relish telling anyone who'd listen about how I'd cry even after feeding (hmmm, maybe I wanted touch or attention?) and how she called the pediatrician and he said, "She's just a greedy little pig." Sixty years later, I wondered whether he had ever said that at all.

      She has a scarcity mindset and is frustrated she can’t provide you with what you needed. She’s embarrassed by her own incompetence as a mother. I hope you know you were totally wronged in the stupidest manner in this situation. Please don’t react in any embarrassed way of she brings that up again.

    I realized my mother was a cover narcissist when she was in her death bed. I finally had the talk with her and told her that she had been very critical and mean to me but that I forgave her. She passed away a week later. It was like she was waiting for us to open up to each other so that she could transition. But it still hurt and I am working on myself to overcome my mother wound and the painful marriage I had with a real narcissist. I deserve to heal. I deserve to be loved and respected by my siblings and my next partner.

      I didn't have to move out, but was told to get a full time job in summer months. From then until 18 I worked 60 hours a week. On my one day off , Sunday , I'd get woken up with hoover at the door really early, to get out of the house and 'not be indoors all day's. I feel your pain, was never wanted. I then of course saved enough money, and left the country at 18 to live with my maternal grandmother who was lonely and getting old. I believe my mother claims to have been unloved by her mother, it's a cycle I do not want to pass on to my son. Leaving was what saved me, my younger brother is 40 now and already displaying npd tendencies

    I guess almost all of us repeat our patterns as they are subconsciously embedded/ transferred from one generation to another. That's why it's also said, "History keeps repeating itself but man never learns from it".

    I felt like my mother loved me. She was brought up in an orphanage n the early 1900’s, and her parents were alive. I suspect she did not know how to cherish her children. I believe that’s why I spent Monday thru Fridays at the baby sitter. I was so, so lonely and scared. I was quiet and scorned by the baby sitter. I was faithfully whipped on Tuesday morning by the other baby sitter. Finally the 3rd lady told my mom I wasn’t sleeping at night. My mom told the Dr. He told my mom to stop leaving me at the baby sitters by the week. That’s how I got rescued.

And I was right to do so because my sister has 3 kids and she did to them what my mom and dad both did to us. She took on both roles and her oldest hasn't talked to her in nearly 5 years because he was sick of her drama. That could've been me had I had kids. So glad I never had any. That has been the best decision I've ever made in my life. By far.

Sometimes I think about adopting an older child or teen but I’ve never been financially or relationship wise Stable enough so I’m not hard on myself.

    Very helpful and appreciated. I am in therapy now for a couple of years and it has been established that my mother was one of the 6% of the population - and suffered narcissistic personality disorder - and I wore blinders my entire life - trying new strategies to make things better - until she threw me into the trench, full abandonment, when I challenged her (finally) because at 97 - after my stepfather passed away - she surrounded herself with sycophants who were ripping her off and I worried for her health and safety. One of them sent me his naked photograph and when I protested - she accused me - falsely - of attempting suicide and I was trucked off to Bellevue to prove my sanity. Then she wouldn't see me unless I went to a psychiatrist and became a "properly medicated: Stepford Daughter - and she had her attorney and she herself kept trying to intervene to see of medication was being prescribed. Luckily for me the psychiatrist I see was ethical enough to prevent their meddling and not answer their questions - and it was obvious to him that no medication was needed. I am putting forth so much detail so others can see how bad it can get - despite (and becoming enmeshed was my own fault since my brother and father had died and I was afraid) serving her needs my whole life. So healing seems an uphill battle at times - and emotionally difficult - but worth doing - because I would like to know what it feels like to be loved and to love. I would like that in my life.

    My mother has a tendency to put me down in social settings. e.g.) in front of my school teachers(although I was a topper in class), when my father's colleagues and family come over for dinner (I hate these social family chit chat), in front of relatives...etc. she has very poor taste of shaming me in public. There was a time in high school when I used to pray someone would get rid of her. complaining to my father is useless because he lost his mother at age 15, and he holds 'a mother' very high. even worse, my sister(elder) has copied my mother and she also does the same thing quite often. ( after watching your videos, I think she has quite a few traits of a 'golden child' . she thinks it is her right to hurt me. insult me.)I have always felt very alone. and always envied my classmates who had parents who celebrated their children's success and genuinely felt happy for their children's happiness. I feel very sad when I realize that what I am happy about, what I am proud of, what I celebrate, is not a shared feeling with them. I cannot remember a single birthday when my parents were not fighting. it is a monkey house. (luckily, I am away now, finally!)
    I have felt and still feel very withdrawn.
    I often wonder if I should watch movies or read books or comics to get a better idea of what normal relations and families look like and to learn how to interact well.
    You mentioned that we should find a mentor or/and close friend, but that is not an option, because there is no one as 'close friend' to begin with.
    I haven't gone out with friends for years.
    I probably won't be here if someone near me had resolved this problem.
    I recently attended a two day seminar on interpersonal skills where the instructor divided the attendies into four groups based on answers to specific questions, which classified me into 'introvert thinker' which, when I ask myself, seems to make sense.
    I don't talk unless there is a necessity to talk. even when there are people and it has been silent for long
    I hate being asked personal questions
    I become restlest when people try to come too close
    I **hate** family and relative get-togethers (I don't want to meet any of them)
    certain things can keep me thinking for days, months and even years
    social gatherings are often more energy consuming and stressful than energizing.
    I think people around me don't feel close to me either, but that is fine, as it is better than getting messy.
    The above is a fact, but as long as I live, not facing situations , and avoiding interacting with people /(including the problematic ones on occasions) is not an option.
    Therefore, it would be very helpful if you could discuss topics like 'skills to become street wise, for those who missed it in their upbringing' , ' how to make sure monsters never mess-up your special days' 'handling troublesome people with elegance, grace and dignity'
    I have searched these topics, but they are too obscure.
    Thank you for your videos. they have been very helpful.

      While writing this I had an idea. Have you thought on talking in front of a mirror. Try saying to yourself nice things. If you can't find any which I am sure you have make them up!!
      Your subconscious mind will start to believe in them.
      Listen to affirmations they do help a lot to change your mind set.
      Hope it helps. Take care of yourself. X

It’s never easy to lose friends but I guess it’s inevitable for the process of healing as well. I hope like you said we’ll become better mothers ourselves along this healing process.

    FINALLY something really helpful. Most specialists go on and on analysing or describing the problem in depth, and then they describe their own traumatic experiences or other people's experiences (the experiences of their clients usually) in great detail, but they somehow never offer any serious solutions even if they assure you they have healed themselves and all their clients now feel better. Vague clichés like "so start loving yourself more" (but how?) are usually the most you get after 30 minutes of opening old wounds. Your words really touched my heart, and gave me specific answers and directions, thank you!!

    What I exactly needed , but for my case , I think that I was aware early on that there wasn't something wrong with me , that I had value even if no one mentions it , I thought there must be a problem somewhere , but not in me 😂 so I was doing the first steps without knowing it was a thing . Thank you for increasing my awarness . God bless you 💝💝💝

    Thank you Terri for this wonderful therapy session 😉. It is indeed a hard path I am on. Both parents narcissistic mean mentally ill abusers/users. And 3 brothers that I also had to cut all contact with as they were very irrespectful, mean and verbally abusive too. But God sent me those unbalanced people so I can evolve and become the best version of myself and mostly so I can love myself! I am now almost 60 yrs old, and I have healed I would say at 75%. For now, I feel there will always be a part of me that wishes that things would have been different. My old - and soon to die - mother is the worst of all. She has been dividing everyone in the « family » so she can control us better. She is continually doing a smear campaign on all of us. I have removed myself completely from her life since July 2023 and in a lot of ways feel so much better. I fo not miss her at all. I am grateful for God’s help and support in that transition. I know he has sent you again today- I had discovered you many years ago. God bless you Terri!

    Thank you so much. Theses two Mother Wound episodes you've provided have been so clear and valuable to me. Recently I have uncovered my inner child and mother wounding. I was not overtly neglected or abused, but my mother was not able to be present for me and provide an essential foundation. I have identified the patterns further with the help of your first video and now I clearly know how to work through these and create a new future for myself. Deep gratitude and blessings to you Terri.

    There is so much that I have repressed about the memory of my mother. Most of my memories of her are not good. Am taking the responsibility to heal myself because I can't keep living this anymore. Repeating the dynamic in my current relationships.

  • @odalis1893

    I've realized that all the woman on my mother's side experienced mother wounds. They have all healed what they lacked in childhood with their children, but then do other things that hurt their own children. For example, my grandma was absent in my mom's life so she was always present in ours. However, she was overbearing and very critical of me and my sister, and I grew up feeling not good enough and seeking approval. Our relationship is healing, but its been very turbulent.

    Thank you so much for this video and for your work. Tonight is the first time I have ever seen any of your videos, I am grateful they popped up in my suggested viewing. I really needed to hear this today. I went no contact with my entire family of origin 3.5 years ago to get away from my narcissistic mother and sister who is just like my mother, they are so narcissistic and abusive that it’s actually dangerous to be in contact with them. This choice to go no contact has been good for me in many ways but i do still have rough days and feel like I am trying to rebuild my entire life after having my old perception of things shattered through unbearable and unending trauma when I was in contact with them, some days it’s so heavy. My healing process has happened in waves and cycles and today was on the rougher side. I needed to hear every single word you said, you touched my inner child heart. Thank you so very much. I’m definitely subscribed! 🙏🏾💛✨

    🙏 thank you. Been having consecutive dreams of being shamed by my mother for seeking intimacy from men who have not been good to me. It’s all messed up, but I have a platform to start healing this mother wound.

    Thank you , tears are streaming down my face , all these years i had no name for what my hateful abusive mother had done to me. I only knew i never understood what i did or why i wasnt worthy of her love. This has been so healing to me. I wish i had found you sooner. Thank you
