Episode Description

Have you ever been called ungrateful, selfish, or disloyal by your mother just for setting a boundary, speaking your truth, or simply because you exist?

In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we’re talking about what happens when a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother turns the tables and calls you the problem.

Whether she accuses you of betrayal, labels your healing as disloyalty, or punishes you for pulling away, the pain of these attacks runs deep and can leave daughters drowning in guilt, confusion, and shame.

We’ll unpack:

  • Why narcissistic mothers often accuse their daughters of being ungrateful or selfish

  • How emotional abuse and gaslighting distort your reality and erode your self-trust

  • What it really means when a mother can’t love, not because she won’t, but because she’s emotionally incapable

  • The difference between actual selfishness and the healthy self-protection daughters are entitled to

  • How to anchor into your wise mind when trauma brain tells you to go back and fix it

    You are not the problem and in this episode, you’ll learn how to start believing that.
