Hi,
I would like some advice. My parents have always had a dysfunctional relationship and finally after decades my dad is divorcing my mum. I have always had a close relationship with my dad and a strained one with my mum. My mum is a 'narcissist' and therefore never in the wrong and she likes all conversations to revolve around herself. She has said a large number of unkind things to me over the years when drunk, which she denies. Now that my dad has left her she is of course devastated but any interactions entail her running down and blaming my dad which I find really difficult. I am looking for advice on how to move on from here - I won't ever be close to my mum but would like some sort of amicable relationship. She was very unhappy in the marriage and I am hoping that she will now become happy. I will not tolerate any unkind words going foward. This is all a muddle. Can anyone make any sense and help me?
