Lying

Lying is another tactic your narcissistic mother will use as part of her emotional abuse. She will lie to anyone in your life as a matter of course. She has no compunction about lying to you, your siblings, and her own spouse.

Lying is something that narcissists learn to do early, and they rely on it to manipulate and control the people in their life. They see it as necessary to get what they want or need. They think of themselves as superior, and so, anything they need to do to get their needs met is justifiable.

A narcissistic mother will lie to you about what has happened or what is going to happen. She will lie to create drama and get a reaction out of you. When you reward her with that reaction, she revels in watching what happens.

This creates a sense of instability and distrust in you that has a profound effect on your adult relationships. You don’t feel as though you can ever trust anyone else, and you’re always waiting for some unseen truth to emerge. It makes it very difficult to engage in long-term relationships.
