Hello everyone! My name is Sam and I’m new to this group. Recently got my diagnoses a few weeks ago and all honesty have come to a realization my mom is a narcissist just this morning. I have always known the main cause of my CPTSD was because of her and it has crossed my mind of her maybe being a narcissist but I would always invalid myself and say “nah it’s not thattt bad” yeah no. It is that bad. Very recently I had a huge fight with her and it really confirmed it for me and I’ve done research on it and she checks all the boxes.

I’m still processing with this fact and I don’t know what to do with this information, where to start to be honest. It’s so overwhelming. It’s one step closer for me to healing more by just laying down the facts and having these realizations. I see a therapist already and she’s been so great. I will for sure tell her about my recent stuff with my mom and how It’s been affecting me. I’m not sure if i should tell my therapist my mom is a narcissist? She obviously wouldn’t invalidate me but I’m sure she would ask me why I think so from my perspective.

I guess just any advice, shared experiences, positive reinforcement etc would be honestly great 🥺
