Of course, being the narcissist that she is, everyone else is the problem. She would never seek help. Interestingly, from what she has told me, her mother had a very similar dynamic with her. She never had the self awareness to realize she was repeating the same patterns.
I hear people say their mother is their best friend and the whole concept seems so foreign to me.

I hear you LOUD and CLEAR! My sister was the be all and end all of wonderful , perfect daughters. I always had to listen to how when she was my age, she was doing THIS and That and not doing THAT and THIS.etc. Here is a big one for you...I was bullied in school and she basically laughed and said it was my imagination. My sister had a bully in Jr. HS and my mother went after her one day. (My sister is nine years older than me.)
