Yes I agree with you a 100% . My mom sees herself as "perfect" in her false image of herself so she does no wrong in her mind. The worst part is she can't empathize and put herself in other people's shoes, that to me is the worst part. Quick example, I'm 30 and in July I had surgery for a torn labrum on my right arm, my dominant arm , from an old injury. I still am having issues with my arm like my hand turns blue/cold pretty frequently so I more than likely will have a 2nd surgery soon. When I would talk to my mom about not sleeping for 4 nights bc of pain/no circulation, she'll start talking about her arthritis pain in her knee, she's 63 years old (I would expect frequent aches&pains when I'm that old). And I would try to make the argument that I'm only 30 and dealing with this, it's only going to get worse as I get older. She always turns any situation around to be all about her.
I find it funny know but I wish she was like most of us that say something in the moment and regret it later by apologizing to that person. My mom has never done that.
Thank you for responding. I don't feel as angry as I did earlier so thanks for helping me .
