[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Therapy, therapy, therapy. My DH's mom was like this and he finally understood it after going to therapy that she is an alcoholic narcissist. He has been able to make very clear boundaries now that he is aware of it & has changed his entire relationship with his mom. We are still cordial and she is involved with our kids and we do all of the "close family" stuff like holidays, but at an emotional arm's length and never involving alcohol.[/quote] I'm this PP and I would like to add that my DH didn't understand how toxic his mom was until he went to therapy - growing up with an alcoholic narcissist parent really messes with how you view the world and how you view the narcissist parent. His mom convinced him from a very young age that she was an amazing parent who was responsible for all of his success. It takes work to unravel but it can be done.[/quote]
