I was raised by a narcissist mother. While, she is not evil but her behaviour towards me and my sister has been very destructive. She has always been scared of us, being independent. 

When I try to tell my mother how I feel, she always ends up putting the blame on me. She always wants to be the centre of attention and is always seeking compliments. 


Privacy is something I have never experienced.
She also knows about my personal hygiene habits!  Everything in my life is about making her look good in front of others.

While she appears to be very self-sacrificing and very loving, everything she does is to make her feel better. 

This has made me, codependent in all my relationships which  has caused a great deal of pain in my life. 

At over 30, it is still difficult for me to leave my parents house and be independent. 

Who else has lived with a narcissist parent? And how do you deal with them?
