Growing up, there were many times I remember getting off the school bus and slowly walking toward my house. Unlike other children, I was in no hurry to get home. I knew that as soon as I walked through that door, I would either be ignored by my mother or have her yell at me. I was never sure which mood she would be in - it felt like I was always walking on eggshells around the house - which often worsened my anxiety, especially as I walked home.

I remember feeling like my stomach was all knotted up, the pain so excruciating, I could barely walk. I remember praying as soon as I held the doorknob in my hand that God to give me the strength to handle whatever comes my way. Sometimes, I would even pray that my mother would be gone for the evening and wouldn't come home until I was sound asleep in my bed.

For the longest time, I thought I was alone. I didn't believe that anyone else in the world had a mother who didn't care to go to their child's school programs, conferences, sports games or any other events. I remember the first time I met someone who stated the words, "Me too. I know how you feel," when I described what it was like growing up with my narcissistic mother. I remember the shock I felt. I remember feeling like as though a warm, heavy blanket had been placed over me.

For the first time in my life I felt like I was no longer alone. There is someone else who understands what it was like to grow up in a home devoid of love and affection.
