[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some of the things narcissistic mothers say and do?[/quote]

When you graduate from a top 10 law school and work hard for years to move up the ranks as a government lawyer in a senior leadership position doing work that is meaningful to you, she responds to your promotion with “So, all that money and time and you’re still just some faceless bureaucrat.”[/quote]

I felt that one.

I was an accomplished athlete in high school. I qualified for a national meet my junior year, but got the flu in the winter of senior year. I hadn’t recovered before a regional competition that ended up being my last meet. My mom didn’t even show up, but when I told her I didn’t win and didn’t re-qualify for nationals she said “all that time and money and you still lost.” That was over 30 years ago and I can still hear her say it. She said it in the presence of my dad, and it is the one time I can remember him defending me.

She also made a scene at my rehearsal dinner. I could go on.
