Will I Ever Be Good Enough? by Karyl McBride Book Summary

From experienced family therapist Dr. Karyl McBride, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? is an essential guide to recovery for women with selfish, emotionally abusive, and toxic mothers—designed to help daughters reclaim their lives.

The first book for daughters who have suffered the abuse of narcissistic, self-involved mothers, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? provides the expert assistance you need in order to overcome this debilitating history and reclaim your life. Drawing on more than two decades of experience as a therapist specializing in women’s health and hundreds of interviews with suffering daughters, Dr. Karyl McBride helps you recognize the widespread effects of this emotional abuse and create an individualized program for self-protection, resolution, and complete recovery.

Narcissistic mothers teach their daughters that love is not unconditional, that it is given only when they behave in accordance with maternal expectations and whims. As adults, these daughters have difficulty overcoming feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, emotional emptiness, and sadness. They may also have a fear of abandonment that leads them to form unhealthy romantic relationships, as well as a tendency to perfectionism and unrelenting self-criticism or to self-sabotage and frustration. Dr. McBride’s step-by-step program will enable you to:

(1) Recognize your own experience with maternal narcissism and its effects on all aspects of your life

(2) Discover how you have internalized verbal and nonverbal messages from your mother and how these have translated into overachievement or self-sabotage

(3) Construct a personalized program to take control of your life and enhance your sense of self, establishing healthy boundaries with your mother and breaking the legacy of abuse

Warm and sympathetic, Dr. McBride brings a profound level of authority to Will I Ever Be Good Enough? that encourages and inspires you as it aids your recovery.

Excellent Guidance. Clearly defines problems arising from growing up with narcissistic mother and gives practical method to heal and develop into an independent, fulfilled, and contented person. Is very supportive and kind while dealing with sensitive and potentially painful issues. Highly recommend it to anyone who has experienced these difficulties.

Helpful, Insightful, Resourceful. Excellent book. Life changing resource. Many 'Ah Ha' moments. I now have a clearer understanding of myself, my life & my journey.

Makes sense. I’ve stayed away from labeling my mom a narcissist for a long time. She doesn’t really fit the typical stereotypes, but my experience as her child has been that of a child of a narcissistic mother. This book allowed me to understand the subtleties in her behavior and what I lacked growing up. It let me connect some dots that were missing before. At first, I thought the concept of the internal mother was sort of lame (sorry!), but I’ve probably used it more than any other technique in the book. Which! By the way, is the best part of this book... there is direct instruction and guidance on how to identify, accept, grieve, and recover from this type of childhood. Something I’ve missed from the other couple of books I’ve read about similar topics. Thanks so much for making this book so relatable and practical!

practical information. this book really hit home for me. she provides easy descriptions of the dysfunctional relationships with a plan for healing. this book has changed my life.

I’m a daughter and I didn’t know. My therapist told me to read this book after our first session. As soon as I started to read it I started to cry…this book was about me and my mother. And now at 46 years old I am finally realizing why my mother is always first in my life and I live a shell of a life! But no more, I have two beautiful children a loving husband and me! It’s time to start living my story and not my mothers!

Will I ever be good enough. I am so happy that at 58 I could find this book and start healing! The fact that my mother could still bring me to tears and be hurtful at the age of 83 was very sad! I hope I can make peace with whatever time she has left!

Excellent!. This books has validated so many things that I have been looking for my whole life. It have lifted a dark cloud and empowered me to finally set boundaries for my relationship with my mom and helped me better understand myself and other relationship in my life. Thank you for a wonderful book!

A Tremendous Help. Tons of useful information. This author really gets it.

🙌🏽. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A must read. I would just like to thank the author for writing this book from the bottom of my heart. It has already changed my life and I'm sure I will read it many more times as I work on my recovery. I have spent a lifetime not knowing what was wrong in my life not willing to see the painful truth but from the moment I started this book I recognized myself in every page. I stopped to cry more than once out of sheer relief that I finally felt understood and that I finally felt like I could allow myself to hope for a future for myself. I cannot express the depth of gratitude I have for running across this book which happened to be mentioned in an article I was reading. This book will and already has changed my life. Thank you a million times. Thank you!

I have never been good enough!. This booked help me so much. It helped me realize how I am not alone in my struggles of dealing with a narcissistic mother. My soul has been ruined and I'm not sure if i'll ever recover, but I am respecting myself now and not allowing this dysfunction in my life. I don't care if I will ever be good enough in her eyes, because I know I am. My mother is a wounded victim herself that lacks empathy of everyone else. She's entitled and deserving at the expense of others. The words "I'm sorry" have never come out of her mouth, because she is never wrong. This book is right on!
