[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have observed that many Boomer parents are narcissists, primarily due to their parents being abusive due to mental health issues as dealing with the Second World War trauma. That reflected on their kids, and they coped as they could, but many became narcissists of different varieties and never got out of that "victim" mentality. Sadly, that cycle is vicious.
OP sounds just like one of those narcs.

Sadly, it is so prevalent among Boomers that it is like an epidemic of NPD so when her millennial kids coped the best they could with her behavior, they became either narcs or fed up with all the BS and are limiting contact.

She is needy even now; we are the best and do everything right, but they are mean. I mean, even in the most abusive families, one kid might become a raging abusive POS when growing up with such parents, and the other might grow up a perfectly balanced person.
I disagree that in the U.S., people resent older relatives. I think many love them, and many don't care, just like in any country.

If we were to generalize and say Boomers and Millenials are spoiled rotten truly, these things are connected, as Boomers are parents of Millennials. If they grew up watching their parents act like entitled douchebags and always narc victims, their kids never got the emotional support they needed. Hence, those kids grew up to be very similar to their parents or were fed up being the narc supply for their NPD parents.
According to OP, her kids are mean and do not appreciate her and her DH. All I am hearing is we are nice, we are great, we do everything for them, but nobody is that perfect; only a narcissist thinks they are so perfect and DESERVE everyone to wait on them.
Like op does.
Having said that, for every child that coped with abuse and became a narc, another became a regular human that is able to function and not be an abusive narc. So, that is no excuse. [/quote]

What position are you in to qualify and characterize Boomers as so many narcissists? And what generation?  I work with Boomers and Gen X- not seeing it. Boomers have a strong work ethic,  they pioneered quite a bit that people take for granted today.  Not seeing all this anger everyone talks about.  It might be best to qualify social status,  education, and changing social mores, first.

Millennials were the first to really be in daycare full time, the first to experience  the idea of individualism  ( free to be you and me....etc.,) There's got to be a commentary on that before we start calling boomers narcissists.  That's a crazy armchair psychological assessment and a really overused one at  that. Come on. [/quote]
I am in the same position as everyone here is on dcum. Just as you have no "position" to qualify Boomers as not narcs. I wrote it as I see it. You must be a Boomer who is a narc and can't take any criticism. Your post makes me right. Thank you for validating my opinion and observation.[/quote]
