As I mentioned early on I have been separated for almost 2 years now, but I receive emails from her wanting to know why the separation and she has a right to know etc.. She knew I was receiving therapy at the time, I told her I needed space, and still thinks she needs more information. So I have tried writing many letters which all come out rather harsh. What would be the most beneficial way of explaining "why" to someone with NPD? Dealing with a Narcissistic Mother - Blog Entry11 Aug 2007 08:15 AM I am very grateful to find this site as I find it quite encouraging to know that others out there are experiencing the same as myself and also made the choice to separate. I too have separated myself from my mother for a year and a half now. I previously viewed this as a temporary separation while I healed from the emotional wounds of my childhood and adult hood alike, but, because of the hateful reaction to my choice, the strong possibility of long term separation exists. My mother has turned my personal business into a â€Å"free for all†on her side of the family. Involving all that will listen to her story and enable her â€Å"bad behavior. I’ve had phone calls and letters sent my way stating their opinion, my brother received a phone call as to questioning what he was going to about this situation.. My son was targeted. I’ve not responded to any of them, I’ve just sat back and watched the chaos erupt, and what an amazing sight. It’s amazing because I’ve changed and can see how destructive NPD is to family. I’ve lost basic communication to several members of my mother’s family, but I can live with that, because the exchange is peace. |
