IDK How to deal with Narcissistic Mother

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of trouble with my mum. I've just been through a difficult life change and I needed some support.

But my mum keeps making my depression worse. Yes, she helps me a bit and then has moments of screaming at me, and telling me that I will no longer be in her will, talking (badly) of my friends (she Google searched without my permission).

I need family but I really don't need and like someone constantly interfering in my life, helping me, and then emotionally blackmailing me. Every time I make a mistake and spill something, there's a scene and then she calls her friends via her mobile to tell them what a horrid person I am.

She also keeps mentioning my biological father whom I haven't even seen for 20 years.

Sorry, I'm not writing this to complain, I just need some sage advice because this is so bizarre that I don't know how to deal with it. I just don't want her in my life, AIBU?

What would you do? I want to be a normal person and live my life again, and not be someone's prisoner (and their past)

Could you please advise me? x

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health Resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected].

We see that you are getting some wonderful support from your fellow Mumsnetters - support from other Mumsnetters is great but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Wishing you the very best
MNHQ💐
