Please help!!! I can't take it anymore! I have been caring for my mother who is blind from diabetes for last 7 years. Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME, I try to make a discussion no matter what it is about, she has either done it, been there or knows someone who has. I can't take it anymore!!!! I just told her that so now she is sulking. She said "Well alright, I wont speak anymore"!!! What is her problem?????!!!!! I'm no psychologist, but I know now why my dad NEVER laughed and was always outside watering. I have an old friend, she is 84, and she is NOTHING like my mother. What drives these people?? She says, "You will be the same in 20 years", I said no I wont, I'll be dead!!! If I say something she knows nothing about, she says nothing, shows no interest whatsoever. :(
...After I wrote that I started wondering if two narcissists can occupy the same space. I guess they could if there is more than one center of the universe. :)
If you want help thinking of alternatives and investigating them, let us know.
If what you really need right now is to vent and have us say, "there, there. This too shall pass" consider yourself patted on the back and hugged.
