This article breaks down how a narcissist would act and how they affect whoever they encounter. It specifically talks about the traits and actions of a narcissistic mother, how they gain power, superiority and control over everyone in the household. The article quotes “They can create toxic, damaging environments for their children, sometimes it takes many years to recognize the damage that has been done.” This article is credible, it was posted by Psychology Today which is the largest media enterprise that covers human behavior and mental health. It’s also reviewed, edited and fact checked. I agree with everything in the article and think this is a common and big issue that some people don’t even really realize its happening in their life.

This article goes in depth about how narcissistic mothers negatively affect their children lifes. How the self absorption of the parent can leave the child with long term emotional problems as well as many mental health issues due to their narcissistic tendencies. Some of the tendencies they mention are betraying their child’s trust, domineering communication, competition, playing victim, and playing the blame game. This article is written by Michael G. Quirke, a psychotherapist, marriage and family therapist, and the article is credible and verified. I agree with this article and have witnessed these traits .

This article more specifically talks about how narcissistic mothers act and how they affect their daughters’ life. Some common traits they mentioned were a lack of empathy, self-centeredness, verbal aggression, and a lack of insight on how their behavior can have an affect on others. They go in depth about the impacts of having a narcissistic mother and can make the readers realize how deep this goes. It can really shape them into a person they don’t like without even realizing it’s because of how they were raised. The article ends with advice for readers that can relate and are looking for a way to heal. This article is from PyschCentral and is credible and verified as well. I also  agree with everything in the article and think this is a common and big issue that some people don’t even really realize it’s happening in their own life.
