Narcissistic Mother - no contact, however constantly harassed

Hello

I have posted before and following reading, mumsnet and counselling, saw that my narcissistic mother would not change and was damaging to my marriage and young children, I decided to go NC.

Its been life changing and such a relief. Her behaviour is enabled my father and 2 siblings who are much younger and have chosen to ignore and deny the stories of EA, and side with my mother and make me out to be a drama queen.

I finally had enough when I saw how my mother was trying to play my DS and DD off each other.

My question is, I am harassed with phone calls from my mother, which go to voicemail (I have blocked her mobile, she uses another phone). Some are threatening , 'I am your mother, I need you', and messages that are manipulative about a recent fall( a trip when she was on a recent holiday to the USA), but all manipulative to make me call....I did cave in when she had the fall and I realised she had nothing wrong).

My sister has emailed ...'Havent heard from you ...is something wrong?" (She lives abroad and haven't heard from her since last Christmas except for this email last week!

I feel I just need to stick it out until my mother gets tired of it, however I dread that she will come to my work place as its a new job and she would make a scene.....

Sorry this is so long, if anyone has gone NC, did you just persevere?
There is no point in me reasoning with my mother, i have tried this for 20 years.

Thank you

if only they could acknowledge the years of crap
YES, if only they could, we wouldn't need to do this!

my husband has warned me it shall get worse before better
That sounds like he is on side at least.

I don't really have advice on this side of things as I've never had to handle it, it's always been a prerequisite of friendship or relationship for me that a person would side with me on these things, even long before NC. They never needed any persuading, as it was obviously a bad situation. One BF did change his mind for a short while but it seemed to be related to stuff happening with his own kids and how he felt about that, we were falling apart anyway by that stage and it was over within weeks for lots of reasons.

Good luck with it, I hope you get some peace.

Thank you itsme and all

And yes talking to my DP this evening, he is very supportive and on my side, as he says , he is the one who pressured/encouraged me to get counselling, and taught me attempt a more productive conversation with my DP, which of course shall never be possible.

I am angry my mother did her fake manipulative behaviour in front of my children ( luckily they have forgotten it. as she has never been part of their lives since they were born, they never ask about their grandparents).

Good night all and thank you....
