I have an adult daughter and I believe she may be a classic narcissist. Our relationship has been strained since she stormed out at the age of 16. We enjoyed a limited relationship from age 21 when she became pregnant and I welcomed my grandson into the world 4 years ago. I've always had to tread lightly around her and suffer verbal abuse, put downs and insults on a regular basis. Something happened 2 years ago that made me fear for her life and after discussing it with her I have experienced a stronger will to bully me by using passive/aggressive WhatsApp messages. I feel like I'm done with her but as you know, a mother's love is hard to break. I still have access to my grandson via his father, whom my daughter dumped simply because he wouldn't agree to move to a more expensive neighborhood! Is this s relationship that's doomed to perpetual failure? Is it me that's caused this? I'm so confused.
