4. Unrealistic Expectations
Narcissistic mothers often place unrealistic expectations on their daughters, expecting them to fulfill their unmet dreams and desires. These expectations can lead to significant pressure on the empath’s daughter, causing stress and anxiety.
5. Emotional Exhaustion
Empath daughters in these dynamics often find themselves emotionally drained. Constantly catering to the narcissistic mother’s needs can leave the daughter physically and emotionally exhausted.
6. Fear of Abandonment
The empath daughter may fear the narcissistic mother’s abandonment, leading her to go to great lengths to please her, even at the expense of her well-being. This fear can create a cycle of dependence on the narcissistic mother.
