Hi my farther most definitely is a narcissist. Now in his 80s.
10 months ago I decide enough. But he calls me often to ask, what has he done wrong? why won’t I speek to him? why I don’t visit him?
If I tell him he doesn’t listen or turns it round to be me who’s bad. No reasoning.
I don’t want to be in his company.
But it’s my sisters wedding in a few weeks. If I don’t see him before then I just know he will kick off big time at the wedding and end up totally ruining my sisters day.
I don’t know what to do!

[…] additionally has a line which is, “I become older however simply by no means wiser.” That’s very true of narcissists as a result of narcissists don’t self-reflect. They don’t […]

“I believe we die as we live. A life authentically lived, shows the successful results even in declining years. Whereas a life lived as a False Self, ends up where it was always going to go – a fall from grace that never was real in the first place.” Narcs can fake it to their death bed. Plastic surgery, the best health and fitness routines money and proximity can buy, personal trainers, hiking groups, cheerleaders, gurus, aimless insecure followers, looking around to see struggle and suffering and getting a self righteous high off the problems they create. Would they ever live in a small town or city without it seeming lucrative? No. Oh but they uphold “real” as some value to attain despite the fact the more real you are the closer you are to the dirt and using tree bark to wipe.

In reply to Melanie Tonia Evans. The X, a malignant Narcissust, was so desperate for supply, abruptly decided to marry the girlfriend after stating rapidly he would never re marry. He is … KARMA… in hospice care. The wedding was also a good bye party . He could barely stand up at wedding.She is 20 yrs younger. His daughters now know who/ what he is. Re did his trust for the 5 th time just recently and is trying to control from the grave. But I am still skiing at 75. Yay for non contact which empowered ME!

This has been one of the better videos and articles I have read. I chose no contact 7 years ago with my Narc mother. I got sick of the tantrums, screaming, manipulation, martyrdom and emotional abuse. It was hard really really hard. However I don’t regret it . I’m grieving for a mother I never had and will never have. All I can do is move forward and try to do better for myself and my own children. I wondered if she would get better as she got older and this just reinforced my thinking. You still have hope when you care for someone I guess though. I’m wondering if you would know what support etc would help with parenting as sometimes I worry I’m like her ?

My soon ex and i went through a recent divorce trial. She has destroyed significant assets, alienated her own adult children, falsely accused myself or horrendous deeds under oath, lied repeatedly on many matters, gaslighted an entire marriage, and made it seem i was the abusive person.
The judgement isnt back yet, but i M retraumatized by listening to her. Im back to no sleep, no appetite, but i remind myself that i and my kids got out of the zoo and we have gone no contact for safety.
My daughter refuses to see her, my son sees no point in seeing her. I am terrified of what further damage she is capable of.
I do hope the courts see through and past her mask. But if not, my kids Nd i are safe.
This article rings so true. Leaving may financially hurt me but staying would certainly cost me more.
I spent 27 years trying to please her, with no success. I decided my efforts were best spent on me and my kids. We are all much better now.
Thanks for the article. FANTASTIC SUPPORT THROUGH WORDS.

Wow, interesting. I checked out most of the comments assuming there would be at least a few similarities to my own experience. My mom is a narcisssist and my dad died a year and a half ago. She’s 84. They had quite a lot of money and he left most of it to her which she’s enjoying. No one around anymore to tell her she can’t buy anything. She’s disappointed that she has to be on lockdown because of the pandemic but otherwise, she’s as content as she ever was. Still pretty healthy and no one to answer to. She puts on her 8-year-old flirty girl charm and people seem to think she’s so nice. And of course, I’m the bad daughter who doesn’t want to uproot her life and go take care of her… I know, I know, I stood up for myself, I’m such a bitch. Nope, life does not suck for her any more than it ever did. She doesn’t have my dad to take care of her anymore and that’s a bummer.. but, whatever, she can pay people to do what she wants. She is getting worse at censoring herself in front of other people and her lies are a little wonkier and even more pointless and mean but she doesn’t know that. And the staff where she lives all think it’s just because she’s old and treat her very nicely because of the flirty girl charm she can turn on. No serious illnesses to speak of, a few people from their community still stay in touch with her. She’s no more unhappy than she ever was. Probably shouldn’t have clicked on this. Dang, and I was distracted from checking out knitting patterns on Pinterest. 🙂
