[quote=Anonymous]Whether OP's mom has NPD or not is kind of a red herring here. If you ignore the guess at a diagnosis, what we're left with is the real issue OP is facing -- a mother with unhealthy behavioral patterns that she takes out on OP. OP, I've been in your same place with my mother. We do have a cordial relationship, but it's one that involves a lot of boundaries. My kids know who she is and we see her a few times a year, but they don't have a close relationship with her, and that's for the best. It look a good stint of therapy to learn how to set proper boundaries with her, and to manage my own emotional responses so that I didn't feed into the dynamic. If you're serious about wanting to continue a relationship with your mother, I'd suggest starting there.[/quote]
