Last night was a little crazy...
I don't know where else to vent about this, so if this is the wrong subreddit let me know and I'll take it down. I checked the traits for a Narcissist today and my mom matches quite a few of them.
So last night I just got home from a long trip, and I was pretty happy and tired (I haven't gone to bed earlier than 11 pm all that week, and had to wake up early on certain days too). My mom went to pick me up and drive me home (too young for a liscence or permit, but I'm old enough to use reddit). I also had a friend with me, and the moment he got out of the car my mom started telling me how much her life sucked that week while I was gone. She always puts her problems on me, but Im very young and can't really take it. She has no friends to talk to because no one can stand her long enough to. Not even my own father can really tolerate her (my parents were never married, and theyre no longer dating, but they live together because I was born, no matter how much they neeed to be separated). Her problems are also very serious too, but she refuses to do much that can help her. For example, she went to a doctor a week ago, and fought with the nurse, and recently she was found with an illegal drug in her urine. She might have been framed, but she acts like an addict already with her prescriptions. She takes one opioid to help her deal with chronic pain from having me (and she does have the narcissistic trait of blaming her pain on me being born) and when she doesn't take it, she has withdrawal symptoms. I can't help her with a problem like that. I'm not a lawyer. She also isn't finacially stable. Her meds come to $20 ish, and has other bills like cell phone and things like that. My Dad has to support her, because disability won't accept her and she can't get a job (or hold one if she did get a job). I'm a little afriad to work because if I do I might have to support her too. Ive already been told if I start working, I have to pay her (and my) cell phone bill. I would gladly pay for mine only, but my cell phone carrier won't tell us the individual price of both lines, forcing me to pay for her as well. And for my dad, it makes it harder for him to escape her too because she cant support herself. These are just a couple of her problems. One solution to the false positive would be to go to a different doctor, and 30 minutes away from where we live are some of the world's best doctors, but she doesn't want to start over even though she could easily get her records and leave. Her problems are starting to take a toll on me too. I already have to worry about school, I'm a very good student so that helps. But I'm starting to lose sleep, eat way more than I should, and be lazier and angrier than I should be. I can't really focus on anything. When I go to solve problems, I look into every little detail to find a solution. When I can't, I can;t stop thinking about it. I'm not a couselor, I can't help people with life probelms. It's not as easy as typing some code, doing some math, or building something. But enough about her problems. Remember, I'm sleep deprived and trying to balance chemical equations. It's not hard, but you need to be focused. She comes to my room while doing it, and starts talking my ear off about how much she hates my dad. I could not focus, and I was tired. So I started yelling to shut up and how I needed to focus. But then I started ranting about how I can't take her complaining about her problems all the time. She started to be like youre the only one I can talk to and solve them and things like that. Fast froward to today. She wakes up, and tells me she no longer cares what happenes to her and she doesn't want my help. She also said I was useless even though as I said earlier I'm a straight a student, and she used to tell me about her straight c's in school. I'm starting to not know what to do. My family is beginning to suspect she has a mental disorder, and I greatly think she has one considering one time in 6th grade she beat my head against the stairs and wrestled with me (DCF did get involved with that, and the only injury I got from it was a bloody lip). But she says she is fine, everyone acts the way she does, and refuses to get help. She's very isolated too. She pushed her siblings away, and mostly no one can be near her negative attitude. I'm just really confused and stressed out at this point. If this post doesn't make much sense, I'm sorry. It's just kinda a rant and I'm terrible at explaining. I might edit for clarity later.
