[quote=Anonymous]I get you, OP. I think you do what you feel comfortable doing, and that's it. You don't owe your mother the adult happiness you've worked hard for. We're in a similar position with my father, though I think he has some minimal resources. We may contribute a bit financially as we can, but aren't endangering our savings or our kids' college funds on his behalf. My mother isn't a narcissist, but I did a lot of the emotional care taking in my family from a young age, and it's hard. I worked my ass off in therapy to get to where I am, and have a great husband and kids. I'm not going to sacrifice their or my emotional well-being for my parents. So, be clear on what you'll do, knowing that may change a bit over time depending on her needs, and take good care of yourself.[/quote]
