Yes, my mom will never say those words either. I'm sorry yours is the same. It hurts and feels kind of empty inside.
My current T. steered me towards a book : Healing the daughters of Narcissistic Mothers; Will I Ever Be Good Enough? by Karyl McBride, Ph.D.
It's a book written by a psychologist that was also raised by a narcissistic mother. It's so spot on for me concerning A LOT OF THINGS!! maybe it could help you too?....I think Sassy is right about finding pride in our own selves and celebrating it that way, if our own parents won't.
I say-- Cheers to you in losing weight!! Keep up the great work! I think I can speak for others in saying that Psychobabble is proud of you! :o)
