From my understanding it’s a classic symptom in narcissistic mothers to view their daughters as competition

Not every home is like this, but many married women fall into a habit of being pretty bitter towards their husbands and men in general, then they see they see men don’t hold the same resentment towards their daughter because she’s… ya know… a kid… or a teenager or young lady, etc. So it’s sort of like #2 is saying, they become resentful of younger women including their own daughters because they are outside of the bitter habit loop they were tricked into.

Oh and #1 seems 🎯pretty close to the bullseye as well. Didn’t see your comment there. 🫶

No lie, if you wanna hit the reset switch on your mom or really anyone who’s like this, ask them what they remember about meeting your dad and why they liked him. Just “There was some reason you picked dad, like obviously he had positive qualities when you met him.” It sort of jogs her memory that he’s not just the guy she might not want to admit resents right now.
