[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 764416, member: 831"] Hi ButCoffeeFirst, That social media post is the epitome of narcissistic abuse. Likewise, they never have to change because "it's" always someone else's fault. Until they own "it" and their part in "it", they become stuck in a self-perpetuating cycle of inflicting abuse on others as a way to regulate their emotional turmoil. For me, it is my 28-year-old son. Get this, he still lives at home. Long story, but we rarely interact unless he wants to act haughty and cackle at something he thinks is stupid about me or something I have done. I am his scapegoat and have been for most of his life. I decided to stop feeding the vicious narcissistic beast he has become. He blocked me years ago from his social media. Honestly, I don't want to know. I have detached from him so much that I question whether I feel any love toward him anymore. That I even question likely means I don't. What kind of mother feels nothing for her child? I guess a mother like me. I tried, I really tried. [/QUOTE]
