As the title of the book would indicate, [b:Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers|2133999|Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers|Karyl McBride|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1266571293l/2133999._SY75_.jpg|2139481], offers insight into a rather challenging topic. Mothers are prevalently considered by society to be inherent nurturers and empathetic care-takers; this assumption is so ingrained that one of the worst things you could possibly call a woman is a “bad mother.”
Yet, for many of us, we know that this is not true for everyone. Narcissistic Personality Disorder appears more frequently in men than women, but when it appears in a mother it can leave children with a number of bizarre issues that last into adulthood. That is where this book comes in, and I honestly found it to be both insightful and helpful. It’s hard to discuss the realities and memories from having a narcissistic mother, but having the foundational vocabulary to describe the seemingly indescribable chaos, as well as the tools for self-reflection and analysis, are ultimately what’s necessary for long-term healing.
Overall, this book was super helpful, and if this is a topic you want to learn about (or heal from yourself) then I do recommend giving it a go. For what it’s worth, my therapist specifically recommended it to me, so while I am not a licensed clinical therapist myself, the book does have the stamp of approval from at least one.
