Thinking Broadly 
As a 55 year young woman I still suffer the consequences of emotional and psychological abuse done to me by my narcissistic mother. It only stopped when I broke off contact with her in 2013.
Although I know with my brains I am worthy to feel what I feel. To like what I like and to do what I do… After being abused for almost 50 years it is hard to believe it in my heart…
