Narcissistic mothers are hard to spot. All children have a tendency to see their mother through a tainted lens, one that causes a child to take responsibility for how a dysfunctional mother might cause them to feel rather than being able to comprehend the challenging dynamics. For example, a highly narcissistic mother, may exploit their child's need for approval, love, and validation. When those necessary needs are exploited, a child will naturally assume blame for not gaining a narcissistic mother's love. This results in feelings of shame and will also create emotional triggers tied to abandonment, rejection, and the fear of disapproval.  The consequences of being raised by a narcissistic mother are wide, varied, and lifelong. The fear of criticism, the fear of engaging with others socially, the need to isolate, and avoid social interactions can also be tied to feeling rejected by a narcissistic mother.
