Funny thing, my daughter thinks I'm the narc
yet there is no doubt she is the narcissist not I. She is insulting, bullying and abusive yet if I dare try to even defend myself she immediately disengages. I have bought her countless things yet she has rarely even bought me a birthday card. I adore her and only want the best for her yet she thinks I'm jealous of her? She has never once complimented me on my work. Hello? Couldn't she throw me a single bone? Alas no. So I bet a large number of daughters who claim their mother is the narc are PROJECTING. Unfortunately, narcs are in complete denial. And yes, I've had therapy and have been diagnosed with depression, but never NPD. Give your mom a break!
