My mom has now moved in with us as she can't live alone any longer. Probably mid stage dementia. Her narcissistic personality disorder has always been challenging, but with dementia it's like throwing gasoline on a fire. Is anyone else dealing with this?
The advice on this threat is spot on. Please heed it. As my therapist said: get educated about NPD, protect your assets, take care of yourself, and Get Out!
PS - you might want to check out Quora.com, the NPD section. It's an online community like this one and has a huge following for NPD victims and survivors. Follow the contributors who resonate with you. Invaluable learning and encouragement to Get Out. You are not alone.
Best of luck to you. Hugs!
Some days, it takes all I have to just breathe and say no. It's not that I don't care about her, but I can not WAIT until we have enough things in order to get her to a facility. I am going to have to try hard not to just dismiss her complaints when she's there. It would be far too easy to just assume every complaint is just "her". I wish you luck in dealing with this!
i know it’s been years and you may or may not get this message but curious to see how you’re doing now?
