'After years of emotional abuse, I finally decided to live my life by my own rules - here's how you can too'
Briefly

The article recounts the author's realization in 2008 that her mother likely had narcissistic personality disorder, which prompted her journey toward self-empowerment. This transformative moment led her to develop and assert personal boundaries, transitioning from being a Passive Pushover to a Boundaries Badass. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing narcissistic traits in parents for healing and growth, ultimately advocating for self-advocacy and personal development as effective strategies to overcome the challenges posed by such relationships.
If it walks like a narcissistic duck and quacks like a narcissistic duck, and is completely self-centred and manipulative like a narcissistic duck, then it's probably a narcissistic mother.
In 2008 something pivotal happened that changed my life, and via the twisty path that brought me to writing this and you to reading it, may well change yours too.
