Help please. She called me at work this morning to ask if I was better and in her narcissistic way just kept poking and poking with questions. I finally told her that after living with us for 8 plus years that I thought it was time to look into independent living. Now she’s in a narcissistic rage and has hung up on me three times at work. How should I handle this behavior?
How should you handle this behavior? For one thing, stop calling her and giving her the opportunity to hang up on you. When you are calmer and in a better mood, bring up the subject. Ask if she thinks she may have had a panic attack and if she would want medication in case it happens again. Then, tell her that you and she are going to check out some Independent Living places. Assure her you aren’t throwing her out and abandoning her, but the time has come for her to be on her own. Why did she move in with you? Health issues? Mental issues? Just was afraid to be alone? Address her concerns, but be firm in your resolve.
