2. You feel like you’re not and will never be good enough
Of all the 8 signs you were raised by a toxic mother, this one is one of the most painful. You struggle with low self-esteem and constant perfectionism.
Being hard on yourself has become your daily routine. If your mother ever acknowledged your worth and gave you unconditional love, you’ll feel like you were never deserving of it in the first place.
In other words, you feel like you’re not and will never be good enough no matter how hard you try to grow and accomplish things in life.
Because of that, you might end up overworking and pleasing others while neglecting your own well-being.
You’ll do all that only to prove to yourself and others that you are good enough and worthy of love and attention. However, this game of chasing perfectionism will only result in more disappointment.
