Healing Begins with Awareness
Are you trapped in the maze of your mother's expectations, forever chasing the approval and affection that always seem out of reach? "Lemon Moms: A Guide to Understand and Survive Maternal Narcissism" is your guide to finding the exit and stepping into the light of self-love and acceptance.

You've been conditioned to neglect your own needs, to seek validation from others, and to constantly put yourself last. You may find yourself drawn into harmful relationships, repeating patterns of self-sabotage, and struggling with feelings of inadequacy and emptiness.

You are not alone.

The author, a fellow survivor of a narcissistic mother, walks with you on this journey of discovery and healing. She offers not just empathy and support but also practical strategies to help you reclaim your life. This book is your roadmap to understanding the true nature of your relationship with your mother and breaking free from the cycle of emotional manipulation and guilt.

Lemon Moms: A Guide to Understand and Survive Maternal Narcissism equips you with the tools to:
- Defuse the drama in your interactions
- Establish boundaries that are respected
- Counteract gaslighting and manipulation
- Navigate emotional outbursts and silent treatments
- Respond to hurtful comments and put-downs
- Understand and heal from hurtful family dynamics
- Strategize conversations for positive outcomes
- Recognize and heal trauma signs

With actionable steps at the end of each chapter (or you can use the companion workbook), this book is your guide to understanding why your mother behaves as she does and how you can change your response. You can't change your mother, but you can change how you interact with her.

You are not to blame. You didn't create the problem, and you can't cure it or control it, and you are worthy of love and respect.

Why wait? Begin your journey to healing and empowering yourself today!
