Yes, at least some of my mom's behaviour fits narcissistic patterns. Golden child and scapegoat. Undermining self-esteem. Always blaming others. Low empathy. Gaslighting, a big one for her. On my side mistrust from all her lies.

However, my mom is also a very unstable person with inexplicable mood swings compatible with some form of bipolar disorder.

Herself claiming to be perfectly normal would also be a narcissistic trait.

Must read more on ridding myself from toxic people.
