Have been reading on mumsnet and think I finally have a label for my mother's behaviour. Narscasstic.
I text her this morning, and asked have I ever make you proud?
Am I the family disappointment?
Her reply...
That's just stupid. Sorry that's the way you feel. I'm the one ignored no matter how I try to invite my kids to do things or visit. Not continuing with this.if that's the way you feel your imagining all this. I've more than enough to cope with at the moment but don't unload on anyone.
Thoughts please?
