Characteristics of Narcissistic Mothers

February24

Here’s an awesome article which is NOT written by me but is by an anonymous author. I would have written pretty much what they’ve already written but they’ve done it so well I wouldn’t need to do my own version. It is filled with what any scapegoat of a mother with Narcissistic Personality Disorder will relate to. Read it. Read the rest of this entry »

Mothers who sexually abuse their daughters

December17

However appalling the topic, when it comes to hearing from women sexually abused by fathers, uncles, brothers, grandfathers, society is at least aware of the issue. As a society we have become so used to the potential of men to abuse that men working with children or interested to do so are sometimes instantly under suspicion. Yet up to 40% of those who sexually abuse children are women and around 10% of reported child sexual abuse of girls is perpetrated by the child’s mother. Read the rest of this entry »

Hope by Donna Williams Guess what… life’s tough, most people won’t understand you… mostly nobody will care about your ‘shit’… and generally that’s a symptom of a serious social disability called OVER POPULATION… it can probably be cured by condoms… if we cure it enough we’ll all most probably stop taking each other for granted – guaranteed. Fact is Dr Phil and Oprah may well have lied… the world was probably never designed to be kind and equal to all… its overpopulated, has generally bred greed and competition, heirachy and hypocrisy.. its time we faced up to the fact most of us are generally too selfish to care about the planet and too selfish to care about any children but our own ones, and too selfish to care about any groups but our own homies and essentially if we had to walk 5 miles to the next human most of us would really appreciate them whoever they were.
