>> My daughter didn’t ask to have a writer for a mother, but that’s who I am. Amputating parts of my experience feels as abusive to our relationship as writing about her without any consideration for her feelings and privacy.

This part got me. To me that article definitely makes it sound like she's a writer first, and mother second. I just hope her child grows up to be a better person than that, or I hope I'm misunderstanding that article.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. That article was horrifying.

Hopefully her daughter pays it forward by becoming a writer who blogs about her experiences as the daughter of a sociopathic narcissist.

"I can't stop writing about you mom. Your attempt to 'amputate parts of my experience' feels abusive to our relationship."
