Covert Narcissist Mother: How to Decode Her Letters - Part One

Описание: Have you ever received a letter, email, text, or phone call from a parent that felt loaded — confusing, guilt-inducing, and full of emotional pressure — but never truly loving?

In this first video of my three-part series, “Covert Narcissist Mother: How to Decode Her Letters – Part One,” I break down my mother’s first letter to me after I went no contact. Line by line, I expose the manipulation tactics covert narcissists use — like guilt-tripping, martyrdom, moral superiority, triangulation, and gaslighting — to try to reel you back in while completely avoiding accountability.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Recognize covert narcissism in “polite” or “concerned” letters
✅ Spot guilt hooks, vague apologies, and emotional bait
✅ Protect your peace and stay grounded when the pressure to reconcile is high

These letters are not loving — they’re calculated attempts to regain control. If you’ve ever gone no contact with a narcissistic parent — or you’re thinking about it — this video will help you see these tactics for what they really are so you don’t get pulled back into the cycle.

📌 Watch next: Part Two, where I break down her follow-up letter and show how the tactics escalate when guilt doesn’t work.
