[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My NPD mother actually gets angry when someone has a health issue. Period cramps? They’re all in your head. Too sick to go to school? Then I have a list of chores that you can do. Stepfather hasn’t moved his bowels in a week? I want to tell you about my ailments first. He needs to go the hospital? Why don’t you drive him?
Is anger toward sick people a common thing with these narcissist parents? I get it temporarily distracts people from the narcissist and that causes rage.[/quote]

OMG this. "I never had period cramps, why do you have period cramps?" "I don't need glasses - why is the doctor telling me you are severely nearsighted?"

My best explanation is that she (mother) saw me as an extension of herself, therefore my health issues could only reflect her own experiences. Otherwise I was faking and being manipulative to get attention. [/quote]

NP - oh wow my mom did this all the time. I have never heard others share this experience before. My mom is definitely on the extreme of the narcissistic spectrum. Any more insight into this from anyone? I am very interested and have never understood this.

Also my mom gets mad if she is caring for my dad when he is sick, and I try to ask questions or give it any attention. For example, she hid my dad’s brain tumor from me. When I found out and asked questions she yelled at me and said “he’s not your husband!” [/quote]
