THINGS NARC MOTHERS SAY:
“Why can’t you be more like your brother/ sister/ friend…”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“If you acted the way I expect, I wouldn’t be forced to punish you.”
“You’re so smart. Obviously that comes from me.”
“You need to lose some weight.”
“You think you’re so good, don’t you?”
“I never did/ said that.”
“If you just shut up and listen!”
“That shirt would fit you better if you maybe did some exercise.”
Narcissistic mothers often use criticism or manipulation to maintain control. Hurtful comments about weight, sensitivity, or comparisons to others can leave lasting scars. Understanding these patterns helps break the cycle and empowers individuals to heal and value themselves beyond these damaging remarks.
