[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't bother talking to her about any of these things, OP, because it will just frustrate you and make you feel worse.

She does sound personality disordered, and they don't like to let go of their distorted ideas and made-up worlds. Don't be surprised if her response to you is, "Oh I never said that. Are you crazy? You're imagining it."

We get this all the time from our NPD moms. They make up myths of what amazing moms and people they are, and anyone who won't go along with them is in for a lot of trouble. To support their narrative, they make up absurd things about what you and others are like and how you feel and what you've said and done. When they feel threatened, or just want to feel better, they'll say or do oddly cruel things that catch you off guard, and when you're a child, make you feel like you must have done something wrong, except you can't figure out what it was.

Don't focus on her. Focus on reading some good books about the subject and getting some therapy, and work on building strong boundaries. [/quote]
