So it sounds to me as if your mother is using support to either validate her own belief or suspicion that this was done to you as opposed to is you set up partner would do that that you don't have your own agency to determine that is narcissism to appoint oneself above anyone.

Sorry if that didn't come out clear I meant to say that the Assumption or belief that a partner did this to you rather than it being a choice you made based on your independent agency as an adult child narcissism and disrespect. Is she the primary focal point of everything?

Unfortunately I've known more than typical and comparative to overall statistics of both narcissistic personality and Psychopaths aren't I lucky LOL but there are certain Dynamics to be on the lookout for as adult children especially creatives who are highly empathetic there is

I thought if I could do something that truly made her proud and happy SHE would feel better. Not me. Her. No matter as most narcissists are limited as to when or even if they noticed much less care you did that and though our intent might be good it leads to sorrow or depression.

Anyway interesting stuff I'm not totally sold on empathy disorder versus order it's like saying hey Jesus you love too much stop that man it's not good for you your dad is a narcissist OMG it's true Jesus is hyperempathic the father malignant narcissist "no other before me!" whoa

What in you does your mother have admiration and kindness for? What does she reject? activities or topics you gravitate to together? I miss my parents and husband. I want living people reunited in love with the living if they can! With time could you reunite? is it what you want?
