That goes well beyond NPD.

Your mother is very sick. If anyone can accompany her to her doctor and get her to explain this to the doctor, and get evaluated and put on meds, that would be great.

Make sure she doesn't have access to weapons or anyone else's finances apart from her own.

Pp here. I think you haven’t dealt with this flavor of dysfunction before.

There are a lot of degrees between what OP and I are describing and being so delusional/confused that a doctor could pick up on it.

There is one cardinal rule in these family systems and for people like OP’s mom: you save face and you don’t show outsiders the reality.

Even if OP took her mom to a doc, her mom would probably end up charming the pants off the doctor and planting some seed that Op was only there to get Mom’s money or some other nonsense.

The fundamental rule governing life for people like OP’s mom is that nothing can ever be their fault. Absolutely nothing. So all the delusions surround that fundamental issue. They know what day and time it is and could pass a cognitive test.[/quote]
