[quote=Anonymous]My mom is like this, and probably has some kind of personality disorder, too. DCUM recommended a few books that were helpful to me. -Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents -Will I Ever Be Good Enough? (Karyl McBride, her website also has helpful articles) -Children of the Self-Absorbed None of these books fixed my relationship or my mother, but they helped me work through sadness around the relationship I don't have and identify and improve bad patterns of behavior that I have as a product of being raised by a parent like her. There have been times that we completely bent to my mom's demands for time and attention, and it didn't change her complaints. I realized I could literally move my mother in with my and be at her beck and call, and she would still complain and be disappointed. That was liberating but also sad.[/quote]
