[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I have a step mother with Narcisstic Personality Disorder, unofficially diagnosed by multiple people including a therapist....

Anyway, I hear you.[b] Its not possible.[/b] Short of making a big scene and then YOU become the terrible person that doesnt understand. Its exhausting.

Sometimes what I do with my step mother is I throw her a bone, give her something to do, something to appeal to her ego. So, for example, I asked her to throw a party for my DD's birthday, because "you're so good at it". The real reason: its the only way DD will be able to see my father because NPD step mom controls him 100% of the time and blocks him in any way necessary from havivng a real relationship with me, his only child, or my daughter, his only grandchild.

IN this case, its a toughie. You could ask them to research and purchase the best dog quilts for the furniture "so the dear pups and be comfy on the furniture". You know how that kind of shit works with a narcissist. Frighteningly well.

Just an idea. I am sorry. ITs not very good, but I just wanted you to know I know exactly what you are talking about.[/quote]
It is possible, but you are, understandably, not willing to deal with the consequences of doing it. But, please remember and take into account that what you are doing is teaching YOUR child to capitulate to emotional dysfunction and manipulation. You are allowing this woman to now and in the future to manipulate and control your child. Are you willing to do this? This is leaving your kid open to all kinds of enabling of unhealthy relationships in her adult life. I'm not trying to be mean, just want to be sure you have a full understanding. [/quote]
