Dealing with a Narcissistic Mother

16 Oct 2007 05:55 AM

Ive just got off the phone to my Narcisistic/Borderline Mother. The conversation was fine until she asked me what I had been up to. When I told her that I was busy and that I was going to buy property and invest my retirement fund - she hit the roof. She said to me that when it all falls apart - dont expect her to come and help. She would not bail me out.

Here is the kicker. Im a 40 year old banker and have worked in financial services for 15 years. I have been a VP at 2 US Investment banks and have advised major corporations on how to manage their liquidity yet My mother thinks that Im incompetant.

Tonight I learned a BIG lesson. Its always about her and not me. I need to ignore this crazy witch and back myself. For my whole life I have been keeping her happy by not doing certain things - No longer!
