[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is so wrong on many levels.  Watch this Oprah show : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMr8KgOZnXg

There is a hospice care nurse at the end of the show sharing her experience dealing with dying people whose children chose no contact, those people remain manipulative even on their death bed.  [/quote]

I might have posted this in another thread on DCUM. But yes, this is true. My narcissistic mother was enraged that she had to share the spotlight with my dying father in the final five minutes of his life. He was staring at the ceiling and his breathing was heavy as he struggled for oxygen. Meanwhile, she was rambling on about what a fabulous caregiver she had been to him. No joke--when she noticed I was laser focused on him and ignoring her, she snapped at me, in Mommie Dearest style "YOU should be looking at ME, NOT HIM!"

You cannot make this up.

I felt guilty for going no contact with her until I found out she went no contact with all seven of her siblings. I finally feel like I have more moments of feeling at ease within my own body.  Meanwhile, my father is dead and my sisters and I have stress related conditions/illnesses.

My mother's doctor tells her she could live another 30 years. Life is too long to suffer a narcissist who slowly but chronically erodes your physical and mental health. Until you go no contact.[/quote]
