"How's your relationship with your mother?"

0 Comments
Today my therapist asked me how's your relationship with your mom now....and my one word answer:

Fake.

When you realize your mother has NPD, you either ignore them, or humor them.  Humoring someone is not a real relationship.  I love her, yes.  Like how a real human loves another human.  But her love is 100% conditional.  For real.  Its not like she's pretending her love is conditional, it really is.  She cannot love like a real human can love another human.  And we have to accept that as a shortcoming of hers if we really want to be able to heal.  (Hers, meaning your mother and mine).

So while we have a "fake" relationship, its still a type of one.  And while its not perfect, its something.  

And I guess that counts for something.
