Copper, I feel your pain, and I live it out frequently as well. My mother is probably undiagnosed BPD or NP. My dad is probably undiagnosed NP.
Regardless, my mom hates it when I'm in a support system and getting more and more leveled out and confident. She, also, does what she can to trigger me.
She is alternatingly condescending and then nice. It is maddening. I hear you.
To my advantage, she's chronically ill now, and doesn't seem to have the energy, or wits about her, to inflict the damage she has in years past.
