Dr Phil: Mother who hates her autistic daughter
What I got out of it was she was fine and happy until she found out her daughter "wasn't normal" and then things went downhill from there because Julia was not her ideal child she wanted. I bet if she were NT, her mother would still be disappointed in her because even NT children are not always the kind of child you want. I had no idea that was a narcissistic trait.
I also wondered why Julia is "mean to her? Is it because her mother abuses her or does she abuse her because she is "mean" to her? How is she "mean" to her? The show was pretty vague about it because it was all about the mother, not about autism.
Also saying she turned out fine because her own mother abused her and the left her, yeah right. I think repeating what your own mother did to you means you didn't turn out fine. If she truly turned out fine, she wouldn't be doing what her own mother did. That is where I felt sorry for her and I read that NPD is caused by what happens in childhood and how they grew up and they develop that personality.
