Add: about inability, to look at self, with a need to shift blame, sooth insecurities, why I feel this is more about borderline shame, than narcissistic injury, is the nature of the tears. Low self esteem, pattern of instability in relationships and financial crisis. The fact you desire to have compassion, and the self doubt, because it's not all black and white, how people feel and desire rescue borderlines. Many a narcissist, ppl would rather flee, there's mean streaks, at times...

Hang in there. There's ways to feel compassion, walk in truth and still have a relationship with a loved one, like your mom.
