Does this fit? - Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers

[AnnieC 305]

After reading some of the posts here and elsewhere from women breaking away from QF families and perhaps something of Michelle Duggar and some of the others, I have to wonder if this description fits them.

Perhaps a lot of this is gloming a mental illness with a Biblical justification. Or am I seeing something that is not there?

What do you ladies think?

Oh my god this was exactly my life. I'd say you're not wrong

[Kelya]

this hit way too close to home

[annalena]

same here!

minus the fundamentalism

only i would say BOTH of my parents are this way, my therapist said so as well

[annalena]

I'm afraid I'm the same way. :( I do go to therapy to deal with my issues though, something my parents would not do in a million years, and I am not a mother yet

If you are aware of those tendencies that would imply you aren't narcissistic. Try reading these two pages as well http://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothe ... other.html and

I've written about this on my Botkin syndrome blog. If you're interested, go there and click on personality disorders in the tag list.

Wow interesting! I wonder if some of the stay-at-home daughters have the Cinderella complex.
