[quote=Anonymous]My MIL also has a narcissistic disorder. It is scary and infuriating at times - everything that happens to her is someone else's fault. It is always a disaster when she visits. We have had several arguments. The last straw for me was when she was offended that we wouldn't let her take our 3 year old to a dog park in her car (she is not from here and a horrible driver, not to mention if anything had happened to our child it would have been someone else's fault and we'd have never gotten the real story). We offered to do something else together, but she insisted her dog needed to go to the dog park every single day. She went to the park, we went grocery shopping and ate cupcakes for dinner because the kids were starving and she got offended we didn't let her in on our "dinner" plans. She packed up and stormed off in her car, then a few hours later called and asked if she could come back. We ultimately let her come back, but I also find it very difficult to act normal around her and find myself ignoring her or being very quiet. I feel awful - it's truly a disorder and I'm not sure she has the ability to change, but I just don't know how to interact with that. Rational conversation is impossible. I'd love to know how others cope. [/quote]
