I am reading the above article on Medium, are we allowed to post a link on MN? If so can someone kindly do so as I am unable to right now. It's heartbreaking but I'm sure could be the affirmation a woman on MN might need who is in a toxic relationship with their mother. This is a not my own experience but I have met women who feel shame and guilt by a world that doesn't want to acknowledge Narcissistic mothers.
