[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 24yo daughter and an elderly mother pushing 80.  My elderly mother has had a lifetime of narcissistic tendencies, anxiety, type A personality, drama and is generally self absorbed.  I'm used to it and in theost recent decade she's mellowed a little but is still fiery.

My daughter came along and as a teenager became very self absorbed etc. I truly thought it was the age and that she'd grow out if it.  She went off to college, graduated, started working and is living independently with another housemate.  I am proud of her accomplishments.  But I am sad to say she is still very self absorbed, type A, and I think a little narcissistic.  She is a lot like my mother.  Everything is always about her.

I love her if course. But am a little disappointed that she has not matured a little and become more empathetic or less self absorbed.  I also sogh BC I've had a lifetime of dealing with my difficult mother who is now in her sunset years.  And now my adult daughter.  My other AC has a more altruistic empathetic outlook and personality.  I know you cannot help your personality.

Have any of you dealt with young adults children who are like this and improve as they mature more?  [/quote]

My guess is she didn’t fall far from the tree. You probably have these same characteristics, even if you don’t recognize them in yourself.[/quote]
