[quote=Anonymous]Yes. My mother is also a narcissist. In fact, I just spent days with her and it's exhausting. More sad than anything. Only after years of therapy am I able (usually after a few glasses of wine :lol: ) to deal with her. As my therapist put it - treat her like anyone else you would engage with that has a mental illness. Show empathy, try to be patient., and most important, don't expect anything from her. I spent years trying to come to terms with that advice and grieving for the loss of a mother I wished I had. Alas, I love her, but don't expect much from her. Only with that in mind can I maintain my sanity and not feel overwhelming sadness and anger towards her. [/quote]
