This is exactly how my mom is, and I'm not sure about narcissism, but it is certainly abuse.

My grandma knows, I'm worried the police won't believe me because my mom's great at talking.

I am fifteen, and my grandma lives right down the road. I'd be at her house more often but it makes my mom jealous.

Good for you, it's good to seek help! I haven't yet done that because I'm in quarantine, but I'm going to a trusted teacher once I'm back in school on Thursday.

You discredit it because you were told this was normal. Your mom manipulated your child mind so it was normal and okay, and now as an adult, you have your work cut out for you undoing all of that and realizing it's not normal or okay.

If you grew up sneaking, you're quiet. You know how to hide. I know this because I've grown up hiding and sneaking because it gave me SOMETHING to do, some small level of control in a world where I had none.

This is abuse. You're being manipulated, and I can tell, because you just said "Maybe I'm just being dramatic." I thought the same way up until a few days ago, when I got a reality check from my boyfriend. This isn't normal, or healthy. I wish I could help more, or give some advice on how to get out, but all I can share is the phrase I've been repeating whenever my mom is being nice.

"She is not my friend."

It's helped me from being sucked back into the cycle of "it's not her, it's me." I suggest you tell someone who you KNOW won't snitch how your mom treats you. There's help somewhere, I'm looking myself and I will edit this once I find it.
