[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds like a narcissist to me. Being able to charm someone else, rewrite the narrative to make them look grand and you look crazy is part of a narcissists playbook. She wants to isolate you and have you question yourself so she can insert her own reality that makes her look the way she wants.

I agree with others though that you need to get your husband not to walk into her trap. He should be able to see it and its concerning that you can't.

Narcissists can really make you think that you must be crazy and leave you wondering how you ended up in this situation with her. [/quote]

I agree with most of this (paragraphs 1 & 2 are spot on), but one big issue is that the husband doesn't believe OP. OP's husband should trust what OP says, no matter how charming OP's mom is. But instead he just invalidates what OP is telling him and disregards what OP says her mom has done to her. This is a huge red flag and honestly I don't see how OP could consider staying married to him once she starts seeing things clearly.

OP, please get solo counseling, just you and the therapist. Don't do marriage counseling or you're just opening it up for your husband to gaslight you AND the therapist and set you back even further. Plus it seems like a waste of time and money to try to repair your marriage. I'm so sorry for everything you've been through and are still going through. ***HUGS***[/quote]
