[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you're pretty enmeshed with these people and might be past the point where you can move away from them gracefully. I had a narcissistic friend like this years ago who was a horror to be with. I realized within a few months that she was too toxic and I was wasting precious time with her-- even a restaurant dinner would end up being a bad experience because she'd berate the waiters in front of me and cause tension. I cut her out before I felt obliged to invite her to my wedding and ensuing baby shower. It's tough that your kid is in the same school and your husband is working with this person so, yeah, again, you're enmeshed unless you move and DH finds a new job. Only other solution I see is slowly pulling away over the course of a few months with some white lies (i.e. you're helping your elderly mom a lot, DH is helping his elderly parents, your kid has a lot of activities, anything).
