[quote=Anonymous]You really need to find a way to accept that your mother just isn’t who you want her to be. And then navigate what that relationship looks like understanding that you will never get what you want from her. If you have been married 20 years, you are likely in your 40s. You need to accept that this is who she is. My dad is a narcissistic person. I accepted it in my 20s and navigate our relationship accordingly. My sister didn’t accept this until her 40s and her journey was so much harder because she spent years and years being disappointed when he didn’t live up to her expectations. I never get upset about my dad because I’ve accepted that he just isn’t going to be any better. And I limit my contact accordingly to something that minimizes my stress.[/quote]
