[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she’s very unhappy for whatever reason and blaming you, her parents. If your description of your Dh’s drinking is true, she has no clue what alcoholism really is or what children of alcoholics actually have to deal with. At some point, she’ll get called out on it and will look like a fool.

You can’t control what she says or what her “memories” are, or how she reacts to them. It’s hurtful, but maybe you need to distance yourself. Don’t even get roped into the crazy conversations. Hopefully she can find whatever she thinks she’s missing in life—but she has to do that on her own.

OP here. I think I'll set some boundaries too per some of these suggestions.  I've been roped into too many dump sessions with her.  As far as DH he has never told her she had it good compared to him.  He doesn't want to engage in a contest if who had it worse.  I do see she has low self esteemi think but in some ways she's very arrogant. She'll tell people about say her friends or colleagues and emphasize how everyone loves her.  I personally think that's weird.  That is why I suspected narcissism BC she always has to have validation and likes administration
