[quote=Anonymous]What exactly does she say/do? I have a family member who frequently makes rude, sarcastic comments. Here’s an example of an interaction we might have: Me: thanks for coming! Family member: like I had a choice in the matter Me: smile and walk away Family member, looking at food I’ve set out: is this all the food? For 10 people? I guess we’ll be going out to eat after we leave your house. At MY house I always make sure there’s plenty of food to feed the guests. Me: smile and walk away I just cringe and bite my tongue through most of our interactions and vent about it later to my spouse. And dread each interaction. But I refuse to engage. Calling the family member on their rudeness changes nothing and just makes things worse as then family member gets defensive and more aggressive and mean in their remarks. This is life w a narcissistic family member. [/quote]
