Many adults come to realize their mother is narcissistic only in adulthood. Without understanding narcissism, it’s hard to recognize it in a parent or partner. Unusual and emotionally damaging behavior might be noticed, but without a name for it, it remains misunderstood.

Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) occurs when a parent is alienated from their child due to the manipulation and controlling behavior of another parent or spouse.

Love bombing is when someone comes on very strongly with what seems like the pure intention of securing you as a relationship partner. They may be very romantic in the beginning, text you frequently, call you every day, bring you flowers and gifts, express deep interest in you as a person, and really place you on a pedestal.
Covert Narcissism is very common in the world today and it is also the most dangerous. An overt narcissist is like the snake on the path that is in full view. Where a covert narcissist is the one hiding in the grass that you don’t see.
Grief is a profound and multifaceted response to loss, particularly the loss of someone or something to which a deep bond was formed. Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a pioneering Swiss-American psychiatrist, introduced the concept of the 5 Stages of Grief in her 1969 book, “On Death and Dying.” These stages are widely recognized for providing a framework to understand the complex emotions experienced during the grief process.
