Dealing with a Narcissistic Family Member - Blog Entry

28 Aug 2008 07:28 AM

What can I say? I know a beautiful 49 year old woman who will never know that her own parents are so disappointed in her they call her a slut and a whore behind her back and are raising her son because "they" think she is a bad mother. ( not exactly true but there are endangerment issues in the past. It is true all her male relationships all tend to be ex drug addicts and/or alcoholics, with a fifth husband on the way. A still married man she only met a few months ago ).. She however thinks its because her son is so special to her parents that they are obsessing. No one has ever told her the truth. As all outward appearances she seems ok but I think she is being torn apart inside. She is made of Teflon, she can't sit still and smokes heavily and can't seem to quit even thought the doctor told her to stop because she is developing COPD. Her older sister seems to be the only one that cares as mom and dad were not the best of parents and told their two girls if abortions were legal they would not be alive today.. Tragic and horrible but what can her sister do to bring this lady to therapy?
