is anyone dealing with a personality disordered parent? [View all]

I live with my mother and she is borderline to narcissist and they have a very hard time dealing with aging. She daily projects onto me her sadness that her children and her family several counties away are not living up to expectations of what her elder life should have been like. It is very challenging for me to keep my joy and positive attitude as I have PTSD and several mental illness dx's. She is probably in better health than me but seems determined to cast herself as almost physically disabled and deprived of any real support emotionally from her children (who are all good people).
