The Aging Narcissistic Parent (1)

29 May 2008 08:37 AM

I have been dealing with the discovery that my mom has NPD too. She has completely missed her grandchildren's lives despite the fact that I served her in many ways, cleaning her house, helping her garden, letting her drink alcohol while watching my children, and many more humiliating things. I find out in the end she thinks I am a horrible mother "who's never done anything good for my children" because I dont work and stayed home to raise them. I have initiated discussions with her and have found out that she thinks I rejected her--at the age of 2!!!!! How am I supposed to respond to that?! Right now I am trying to overcome feelings of being a mentally ill loser that she has put on me. I keep seeing myself, as she sees me!! That is what I dont know how to heal.
