Welcome to Behind Closed Doors.me
This site is for young
adults and adults who have Mothers with Narcissistic Personality
Disorders (NPD)
Please spend a few minutes to watch the video below, it is a short interview with Licensed psychotherapist
Julie Hanks (who has over 20 years in the mental health
field) talking about the affects of having a Mother with a personality disorder.
If you can relate to this video, then this site is for you and
hopefully will help answer some of the questions you might have.
Narcissists make deplorably bad parents.Narcissists have two faces -- the one
they wear in public, and the one they wear at home.
Only those close to the
narcissist have any idea there is more than one face. And the narcissist's children know best of all, because
children - those who have the least power - are the ones the narcissist allows him or herself to be the least
guarded around.
A frequent frustration
of children of narcissists is that everyone else thinks their mother or father is the most wonderful person
ever, while at home their children suffer in silence with their parent's tantrums, disinterest and put-downs --
this is clearly NOT the most wonderful person if you truly know them -- not even close.
