[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Does anyone have statistics on narcissistic disorder in general population? What is it, 2%, 5%, 10%? Genuinely curious.[/quote]

I would think this would be near impossible to get a statistic on since people afflicted with this think there is nothing wrong with themselves.  Even if they are seeing a mental health professional, it can be hard to pick up on since their interactions are minimal and their version of things is generally not accurate.

But it doesn’t matter if she is or isn’t a narcissist.  Everyone has the right to chose whom they spend their time with.  If someone causes you unhappiness, grief, and anxiety, you have every right and obligation to yourself to decide not to see that person and that should be respected.  If it were an ex boyfriend or ex husband that kept showing up after you told them to leave you alone and to not come over, that would be harassment.  But if a mother does the same to her adult child it is fine?  No.  You don’t get special rights or privileges to other adults that supersede their rights to love their life as they want because you are related to them.  [/quote]
