[quote=Anonymous]There is probably not a whole lot you can do to change your mom's behavior at this point. Old people seem to become more "themselves" as they age, be it good or bad. Also, people who are narcissists tend to not be able to receive feedback about their own behavior. They will turn it against you and make it your fault. Look up the term "gray rock." This means limiting exposure to your mom - be it phone calls or in person visits. Keep it very superficial. Do not let her in to your or your children's struggles because you will not get the support you are seeking. Talk about the weather, your weekend plans, the dog. Keep it short. Protect yourself and your kids from her negativity. You can do this without excluding her completely from your life. [/quote]
