[quote=Anonymous]My mother lately calls to pick fights or send rude text messages about things I haven't included her on. Will inquire about a kid and then badmouth my parenting. My kids are in their teens with regular long time schedules and their own personalities so it's weird. I can't do much to change them now and we are trying not to bother her. The other day she told me it was hard to look at me because I had gained weight. She's lost a filter for friendliness and as a result I hate being around her. If I call any of this out she plays games like forgetting she said something or asks why I'm always mad at her. Turns the issue into mine. I understand that she's losing her ability to comprehend situations and get along but it all still bothers me when an insult happens in the middle of an activity we are doing or at work or with others including my kids. They've started to pick up a bit on handing out insults more regularly too.

So what can I do to both help her and myself not have rows about small insignificant things and also help her recover from this behavior?  She has always been slightly narcissistic but now it's much more regular and in multiple areas of our life. [/quote]
