Todays journal entry….

So….im making plans to get away from my mother. I’ve known for a while that my mother is quite narcissistic she’s entitled, grandiose, validation seeking, has a victim mentality and tries to control everyone financially. I already have a few boundaries but need to enforce more as I feel she is getting worse. Im a single parent so I struggle financially and I care for her a lot has she has a terminal illness. My sibling isn’t as involved as me as she apparently has less time ha and our relationship is rocky. I do so much for my mother and never see other older children helping their parent out or being around as much but still she’s ungrateful. It’s gotten to a point that she’s withholding inheritance money me and my sibling are entitled too. I think she knows without her money she can’t control me and my sibling. But my mums put downs and entitlement of me and financial controls are presenting more now. Ive heard narcissistic people get worse as they age and I've literally had enough! Im too nice to totally leave her but I want to lessen it to once a week and possibly altogether eventually. Hopefully convince her to get extra help so I don’t feel bad lol. It’s tough when it’s a parent as I’m secure enough to cut people out quite easily. I’m going to have to lie and say I’m returning to work so won’t have time. Get some financial advice and hopefully stick to this. Thanks for listening x
