I'm reading the book because I can confirm I've been raised by a covert narcissistic mother (also, alcoholic but stopped drinking when I was ten yet still possessed certain alarming features). You know something is wrong and can't quite put your finger on it. It drains your life. I've seen drs. psych care, therapists etc. The trauma of emotional abuse from this generational disorder is disastrous....it is handed down....people (e.g. clinicians etc) have got to start looking for this, however, in my experience when that parent is footing a bill or a dr. isn't truly aware of this subtle disease; its almost impossible to point as the core issue. It was til I was forced to live with her at the age of 43 and start to seriously that something was quite odd and quite wrong. I felt so damaged after living with her...
Daughter Detox is a start but an book worth mentioning is written from a survivor and she captures the subtle and sometime vicious nature of this ...I highly recommend Diana Macey's "Narcissistic Mother's." I was blown away after ten pages at how dead on this depiction is conveyed. thank you for inquiring and for whatever reason...good luck
