"Flying monkey is like their little spy, like in the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch sends out the flying monkeys to get information on her targets. So that is what the narcissistic parent will do."

How to recognize and heal from a narcissistic mother.

Today I share a conversation with Michele Johnson of Bumped Bruised and Blessed IG & YouTube channel

Instagram: @bumpedbruisedandblessed

Guest Bio: Michelle is dedicated to her incredible husband and beautiful daughters having graduated cum laude from Farley Dickinson University with a master's degree in psychology, along with a bachelor's degree in psychology, Michelle founded Bumped Bruised and Blessed as a glimmer of hope for victims of narcissistic abuse. She and her husband endured. The atrocities of childhood cancer and lost their three-year-old son, Joey. To GBM in 2013. Michelle continues to persevere through an adversity by honoring Joey through spreading kindness and compassion with every effort. Her dysfunctional upbringing with a narcissistic mother, enabling father and flying monkey. and golden child, boy, brother have reinforced her empathic approach to other victims.

A previous romantic entanglement with a narcissist also enables her to relate to this insidious form of abuse from that perspective as well. The Bumped Bruised and Blessed community is a chosen family of victims providing support. Through validation and education. Michelle maintains both. Both the YouTube and Instagram resources for both forums.
