I am the daughter of a narcissistic mother, and I have Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome is a strong emotional bond between an abused person and their abuser, also known as a Trauma Bond. Victims of Stockholm Syndrome develop compassion and loyalty toward their abusers/captors.
In this video I give an explanation of Stockholm Syndrome, how it relates to narcissistic abuse, and finally how it relates to my experience being the daughter of a narcissistic mother.

I think somebody hurt me really bad when I was little…too little to remember. I can’t be sure who, but at such a young age it can only be somebody from my immediate family of origin. I think it was either my narcissistic mother, or my 2nd eldest sister who I believe is a malignant […]
