Book Recommendations for Dealing with NPD Mother/Relative

[waterfalls]

I apologize if there is a different section on the site to post book recommendations; I saw "Books" under "Resources," but didn't see anything listed.

I've recently read 2 books by Danu Morrigan: "You're Not Crazy--It's Your Mother" and "Dear Daughter of a Narcissistic Mother..."

I highly recommend both of these books for anyone dealing with an NPD parent or relative. They were both written less than 10 years ago and are the best books I've read on the subject. The author is not a therapist; she is, however, a DONM (daughter of a narcissistic mother) and writes from a firsthand perspective of someone who really knows and understands. I found her books to be a validation of my own experiences with my NPD mother, and she offers different suggestions on how to deal with an NPD relative.

Her books have been very helpful and therapeutic for me. I'm sharing the titles in case they can be helpful to some on this board.

Wishing everyone the best!

My mom is undiagnosed NPD/BPD.

My current favorites:
Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers by Karyl McBride
Understanding the Borderline Mother by Christine Ann Lawson

Honorable mentions:
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson
Stop Caretaking the Borderline Or Narcissist by Margalis Fjelstad

The McBride book was the one that convinced me my mother had a PD, thought she doesn't quite fit most of the descriptions in the book. It was more that I had all the same feelings that the daughters mentioned. The Lawson book is the one where a huge lightbulb went off. She describes four types of borderline archetypes, and my mother fits the Queen type 100%.

I will definitely be checking out the Danu Morrigan books, as her site was one of the first resource I ever came across when I was trying to make sense of my mother's crazy behavior.
