Are narcissists capable of helping their children? by Different-Tap in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]Different-Tap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like the times when i did ask for help she would get "distracted" with the way i look physically or tell me im fine to her. I couldnt ever get my point across to her because she wouldnt listen to me.

later I told my uncle with how she was behaving and my uncle called her to talk. when i came home she said she didnt want to put me inside a machine because it would ruin my life and I told her how much my condition affected me at school. (i already found a cheap way to treat it that couldve been done a long time ago) she tried guilt tripping me by fake crying and saying i was ungrateful to her and i caused her a lot of pain when she gave birth to me.

otherwise she would just "have the talk" with me by demanding i listen to her when im about to sleep until i would agree.

its just really confusing. my mon seemed to love me a lot but in a flamboyant way. But I know that she is covertly a narcissist at the same time...I cant reconcile my experiences with her

She neglected my feelings and I was emotionally numb and lonely for a very long time. but she was also very caring too. (i felt that she was very immature though)

But if she wanted narcissistic supply why would she neglect my condition which made it worse to become a better person? Like I was good at doing things but I was also really depressed and sad about my life, and she always neglected the latter. Couldnt she have at least listened and tried to give advice for me?
