the manifestations of daughters who grow up with narcissistic histrionic mothers in enmeshed relationships.
It can be almost impossible task for the psychiatrist to help a woman who is borderline intellectually disabled, after long term sexual abuse during childhood if it happened frequently by multiple abusers. This patient maybe not be capable or have any willpower to understand how therapy could help. And this could manifest into a life of short lived relationships and a infinite number of sex partners.

Histrionic mothers.

The individual with the learning disability can have difficulty understanding the act was abuse. And instead they often associate the stimulation and feeling of sex as well as the praise from the caretaker as gratifying because these are the only times the caretaker will ever show any positive emotions towards the victim. This will in return cause the intellectually disabled person to wish for more praise after the overseer is no longer cheerful anymore from the last achievement. And now the cycle will repeat in the form of rewarding behavior for every sexual conquest. If you imagine giving a dog a snack for waiting until the appropriate time to urinate outside.

Now vision giving the dog a snack to potty on the kitchen floor during dinner.

This is the outcome of a borderline mentally disabled daughter with enmeshed mother. The daughter is never able to excel mentally due to her slight disability and the treatment of the parent. It will be a regular routine to defecate on the kitchen floor to make their abuser proud even into adulthood. When a child without any learning disability will have a great will and would be successful to learn how to and when and where to properly use the restroom, the slight learning disability from the other individual would not even allow her to think about the better choice. This is the results of a histrionic mother ,and a borderline intellectually disabled child.
