YOU SAY

I read the recent letter from a woman having problems with her emotionally abusive mum (Dear Coleen, March 30).

It struck me that her mum could have narcissistic personality disorder. Your reader might want to look up The Echo Society (which specialises in narcissistic abuse recovery) and there are many good books for ACONs (adult children of narcissists).

This is a largely hidden problem, which is only just being talked about (even in America).

I know how abusive, devious and manipulative pathological narcissists can be, as opposed to people who are just a bit selfish. Jane, via email
