Looking for Language to Describe Abusive Mother

[starvingGrad]

Late to the party, but give this website a read, from what you're describing I'd say it might be an interesting read for you. (You could nearly be describing my own mother to a T, & I found this site informative. Beware the trap of trying to understand why your mother is the way she is, its most likely a never ending can of worms with no lid.) daughters of narcissistic mothers

Be prepared when you read it though, in the author,s words, "I need to stress that I have no qualifications in psychology or similar, that I'm no guru, that I don't hold myself up as an expert."

True, the author is only anecdotal, I linked it more because of the type of language OP was using rather than clinical accuracy--I'm not a dr so grain of salt.

This forum has a lot of links to more accurate info under the resources tab (forum content is peer group/experience based-- not clinical, disclaimer page linked): Disclaimer — Out of the FOG
