[quote=Anonymous]My dad is a narcissist and the literature basics says that difficult people become elderly difficult people. They don’t mellow. If they were always controlling, inflexible and uncompromising they will be more of the same. My parents refuse to maintain their home but also refuse to move out, refuse to give up driving but complain about caregivers, won’t eat food that anyone else prepares, refuse to learn anything about technology but insist that we drop everything to go to their house to reset the tv channels etc. Pick fights and gossip and stir up trouble in the family and best of all keep score in terms of who drops everything and comes running most often,[/quote]
