[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am navigating this now. My narcissistic father passed away with no plans in place for my mom with dementia. Mom enabled my dads abuse and also emotionally neglected us. I feel like I am now being asked to mother someone who never mothered me. I had been extremely low contact with oth of themuntil my dad got sick. Poor me by far. The worst part is having to interact with my siblings. My parents always pitted us against each other and my brother is the golden child while I am the scapegoat I try to visit my mother occasionally and keep it light not discussing anything serious. I also make sure to take care of myself by like getting massages and planning something fun after I spend time with my mother, I have also had a lot of therapy since this stage of my life is bringing up a lot of issues. I also find it really difficult because as my mother has lost her filter, she doesn’t even pretend that she cares about my sisters and I as much as she cares about my brother. It gets so tiring to have to hear about what a great guy he is  because he really isn’t [/quote]

brother's job to take care of mom, not yours.[/quote]
