Would anyone like to share some suggestions on initiating No Contact for a covert narcissistic "mother"?
I've taken an interest in pretty much taking as much responsibility for this "mother" as possible without being a total control freak. My spouse and I have just figured out what kind of personality we're dealing with. He's been through this hell his entire life, it's time for him to step back and enjoy himself for once. She has a medical condition which is for the most part "terminal" in a way. As a typical narcissist, she's used the disease to her advantage, but as of recently, some internet searches were conducted leading to the discovery of the "mothers" mental instability. I'm trying to be my spouses emotional backbone as much as possible without crossing any boundaries or being a total controll freak. Her games aren't successful with me and my spouse has done almost a full week with no contact. Which is good unfortunately considering she's currently in skilled nursing after a recent fall. Not sure of it was staged like the last one or not... But either way, it's seems to be a little more difficult trying to find suggestions about the covert personality, even more if it's a mother and son relationship. Any tips, suggestions, hugs or advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello jumpinggrasshopper: The Skeezyks doesn't know anything about this I'm afraid. But I saw no one had replied to your post. So I thought I would. I'm not knowledgeable with regard to narcissistic personality disorder in general let alone covert narcissistic personality disorder. So I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions. However, I do have some experience dealing with older folks (in fact I am one myself!) So I wish you well in your efforts.
