[quote=Anonymous]She was going to get ice cream and you instructed her not to buy X snack - you set yourself and your mom up for this scenario. If you hadn’t mentioned anything, she wouldn’t have bought it, right? She is who she is; you know she’s a toxic narcissist. She will never, ever change. You either learn to lower your expectations and not internalize her behavior, or you limit/eliminate contact, or set other boundaries around your interactions with her. You can feel good knowing that you are making every effort to create a much healthier life with your own family. You are breaking the cycle. I know it’s so maddening, because your mom probably has an almost supernatural ability to know and push your buttons, and it’s a well-worn dynamic that you are having a hard time stepping out of. But you can only control yourself, and your reaction; you can’t exoect anything different from your mom, ever. [/quote]
