[quote=Anonymous]OP, your mom isn’t narcissistic but borderline  which includes a much broader spectrum of crazy behaviors. In your mom’s case, there’s several elements which indicate borderline personality disorder. Splitting which basically means that you are seen as either either all good or all bad. Emotional manipulation By not speaking with you For several days to punish you until you beg her. And the gaslighting which basically refers to her denying the truth. I just figured out this myself over the weekend Because I grew up with my mother who is very similar to yours. For years, I thought she had depression and anger management issues but I could never explain the mind games. On some level, living with a borderline parent Reminds me of an abusive intimate partner relationship Because the borderline parents will say things like “oh if you were a good child I wouldn’t have had to hit you” and there are Moments of clarity in which the parent can appear genuine and loving. So you the victim live for those moments when the borderline is “normal”. If you want to get in touch, here’s my throwaway email: nerina.p2010 at gmail.com. Anyone else who wants to commiserate, you’re welcome to email me too.[/quote]
