I Don't Get Along With My Mom
I have a long and rocky history with my narcissistic mom.
She said something today that just made my blood boil. Recently she had some swelling in her legs, so she went to the doctor this morning to get it checked. She texted to me, "This whole thing has shown me that it's time for me to slow down. I have to step back and let you kids take of yourselves from now on."
Excuse me, WHAT???
I have been taking care of myself (and her other child!) since I was 12 years old! I've never asked her for a damned thing, and even if I would have, I know good and well she wouldn't have given it. I moved out at 18 when SHE kicked me out, and I never went back and have not depended on her for anything since. I can't believe she had the audacity to say what she said, as though she has had any active role in helping me with ANYTHING in my life. She's delusional.
