    I grew up with a narcissistic, neglectful mother. It made me a stone cold liar. I’m so good at lying that I sometimes used to lie just for fun to see how crazy I could make it before someone would call me out on it.

    That being said, with my child I’m a totally different person. I’m super honest with him. I tell him constantly how much I love him, how much he matters to me. I just have this aversion to do anything my mother would have done. My instincts tell me to do almost everything the exact opposite of what she would have done.
