[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your mom inquire about your personal or profession life? My mom has never done this. Unless I interrupt her and offer information about my life, she just carries on about my siblings, her work drama or our dysfunctional extended family without responding to what I had shared.. She will ask how my kids are but usually directs to conversation back to comparison about my siblings two kids. It’s always been this way, but as she’s gotten older it’s very obvious.

By the way my mother is a therapist and is very inquisitive with other peoples lives. When she visits she spends her time on the phone or online with people seeking her advice so I know she has the capacity.

She sounds narcissistic and like she has poor boundaries. She likely gets a hit of narc supply in giving advice and feeling superior. If she compares her kids and grandkids, best for her to know little. Her narc behavior is not the same as genuine interest. Grieve the mothering you never got and never will. The book Mother Hunger may be helpful. You need to let the scales fall from your eyes, she has NO genuine capacity for a mutual supportive relationship. [/quote]
