[quote=Anonymous]Er, what? If she legitimately believes her estranged son is dead (not just tantrums about "you're dead to me!"), then there's probably more going on there than a personality disorder, maybe even something neurological on top of the manipulation. Unfortunately it also doesn't sound like she'd be particularly amenable to getting checked out though. Definitely boundaries. "Ok mom...I'm not going to talk about satan and prostitutes right now, but let's talk next week OK BYE". If she does it again next time, repeat and hang up. Hopefully she'll over time learn that she can't do that if she wants to talk to you. If not, or if she escalates, then you might have to recalculate but that's probably the best shot you've got, just don't engage with the crazy stuff. [/quote]
