4.15 AVERAGE


I am not rating it bc it really was a heavy read bc at times I was met with heavy truths and others I wasn’t sure the book is about me at all or if I need it

I got a lot from the book on audio and have bought a 2nd hand print version too. I will be reading this a few times I think.

If you're just starting out trying to heal and cope with a narcissist mother, I think this book would be very helpful and definitely recommend. I've been aware of some of my mother's traits since my late teen years and had several years to process and set boundaries so I didn't find the last ⅓ of the book as relatable. This book is still a good read and worth reading even if you fall into the same category.

This is useful for anyone who may think any parent is a narcissist. This is good for someone who’s early in their journey. I wish the version of me that’s 2 years younger read this.

The first book for the millions of daughters suffering from the emotional abuse of selfish, self-involved mothers, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Provides the expert advice readers need to overcome debilitating histories and reclaim their lives.

I needed this.

Like having an in-depth hours long emotional conversation with he worlds most understanding caring and sensitive mother. It was all a one sided talk but I was just stunned the whole time so I didn’t have much to say. Literally hundreds of highlights for me to treasure and sift through. The mother daughter relationship is one of the most volatile things known to the universe and having it explored so deeply and compassionately entirely focused toward healing and freedom, it’s just beautiful. Absolutely recommend to anyone struggling to step out from their mothers shadow or just can’t stop thinking about the pain you went through when you were growing up. It doesn’t demonize mothers, it humanizes them and more importantly it humanizes YOU. And in that is freedom.
