[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After many years of emotional abuse, I've realized my mom [b]very likely has NPD [/b](my whole life i knew there was something, I just didn't have a name for it). Things have gotten far worse between us since I've had my own children because I can't or won't accomodate her the way I used to.  She's always angry with me about something, blames me for everything and says I don't want a relationship with her and I'll be sorry when she dies.  In the past year and a half, she hasn't called me once, including on my birthdays but I've called her numerous times so she can talk with my kids. She's generally fine with them although she privately accuses me of keeping them away from her and being a terrible mom for various reasons.   Anyway, despite all this I really would like to have some kind of at least cordial relationship with her both for myself and for my kids since I grew up with grandparents and I want that for them too.  Am I being unrealistic?  If you've been down this road and done anything short of cutoff, how have you done it and what's worked for you?  [/quote]  It is just as likely that she is depressed.  Stop with the arm chair psychology.[/quote]

Since the internet and round the clock therapy usage, everyone's a damn doctor. They use the lingo and everything.  :roll: [/quote]

I know!  Isn't it so great that people can do research about personality disorders and how to handle them instead of just drinking their problems away like they did in earlier times!?

Not all of us want to go back to the Stone Age. Realizing that my parents have NPD has allowed me to have a limited, controlled relationship with them since I better understand their methods of controlling me. This is much better than just being miserable in my opinion. [/quote]
