 One of the most helpful books on this topic
This book is written with tremendous empathy that could only have been someone who went through the trauma of living with a narcissist. It is almost too lifelike with the words and phrases being only too familiar making it a very emotional read. Thank you Karyl for the tremendous help and insight this book gave me.
Will I Ever Be Good Enough?Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers
My mother was Narcissistic and this book helped put everything into persepctive for me. Growing up with a mother like this....I always thought I was wrong, did not matter,and could never be good enough to get her approval. It took me until adulthhood to realize she was Narcissistic. I could never find anything to read on healing myself from the effects of growing up with a mother like mine.
I first looked at this book at Amazon on line, then reviewed the table of contents and read a couple of pages and I knew this one was for me. I have not been disappointed. This book has been very helpful for me and I hope it will helps others too.

A Fountain of Gold
I have been working on codependency for over three years now, having read every book there is from Pia Mellody to Medlody Beattie along with working with a wonderful therapist.
Until this book, I was unable to remember or point to certain parts of my childhood that are still sharing my life with me at age 65.
I sent each of my daughters their own copy and even my son-in-laws. My oldest daughter said yesterday, I don't see much of you on the back cover, Mom, but I do see Dad.
I have another to give to my therapist tomorrow. At another therapist's office, both the doctor and her receptionist wrote down the title.
Even thought we mothers try our best, we have to remember sometimes our response is just a habit we learned and didn't know it.
Finally there is a key to help us connect with our past. What if everyone in just one town or city read this book. Can you imagine the world we would be creating?
Very Inciteful Book
Until I read this book, I understood very little about why my decisions were based on whether or not mom would approve. This book has given me a lot of insite as to why I believe, feel and act as I do.
Help for our modern-day psychological plague......
I happened across this book and this subject when, after yet another insane barrage of my worthlessness from my mother, I typed into Google: 'Mothers who Bully Their Children'. Now, I am acquainted with narcissistic personality disorder (I've been surrounded by a good number of narcissists in my life), but i never saw that the first one was dear old Mum.
I like how accessible this book is. I also like the questions posed to help one determine whether one is dealing with simple human narcissism, or a full-blown pathology. Turns out me Mum matched all 33 qualifiers. It's an immense relief to know that this is a topic that is being spoken about, and that there is support specifically for 'Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers', as we DO have special challenges (as opposed, say, to marrying the first one you come across).
Carol McBride has made helping women like us her life's work. Her website is a wonderful source of support and encouragement. For, we all know how isolated we become when dealing with this pathology. And her focus isn't on 'blame Mom'; she helps you release the blame by realizing it's an illness (like alcoholism) that the narcissist cannot help. She then gives practical exercises to assist us in working on ourselves (the only ones, of course, we can control).
I highly recommend this book, along with Ms. McBride's many other fans.
