Totally spot-on Bill!
I don't openly go to town with my mom. Or with my brother. If I happen to be near them and they try something? Well, I dig in my heels if I can't flee the situation. As much as I can though - I just don't engage.
And I never initiate a confrontation. Especially not about their behaviour and attitudes. They don't see things the way that I see them, and they never will. It's actually part of being NPD I think!
