Narcissistic mother's syndrome is a form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) which is present in an estimated 0.6-1.0% of the population. The condition, and abusive impact it has on hundreds of thousands of daughters around the world, receives little public attention. Writer Danu Morrigan has helped thousands of women to find a path to freedom, through her support website daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com and her bestselling book You're Not Crazy - It's Your Mother. Now, Dear Daughter of a Narcissistic Mother ..., her much anticipated second book, presents 100 letters written by Danu to fellow victims, containing recognition, advice, techniques and encouragement to break free and remain free from the toxicity of a relationship with an NPD mother.

Your mother did not love you as she should have – because of her alcoholism, or her narcissism, or her absence, or her mental illness, or for any number of possible reasons. None of them are your fault, but all of them are your burden. Whatever the reason, it has left unsaid so much that you should have heard from your mother –advice, support, compliments, validation, encouragement and so much more. These Notes From Your Inner Mother are your chance to ‘hear’ them all now. They are what a loving mother would say. They’re what you need and deserve to hear. They’re designed to read as if they’re from your own inner mother, the part of you who is your own wise mother to yourself. This wisdom and love is accessible to you through your quietness and attention, and these notes are from that place of healing and kindness. ‘I read the notes every day and I appreciate them more than words can say. It has helped me to understand what a real healthy mother and daughter relationship should be.’ LC , Ontario ‘Your short notes have been food for the soul ….’ MT, Lisbon, Portugal ‘The note series has been uplifting and heart-breaking at the same time, but has led me to a better inner dialogue.’ ED, Oregon ‘Your notes are like my daily prayer. Each one for that day has a direction pertaining to me.’ MS, Arizona
