is anyone dealing with a personality disordered parent?

5. it is very tough

I have heard that they didn't age well and don't handle old age well and this appears to be true. She lived with her great aunt growing up who had eleven children and those children all had several kids each so their house was like a congregation of people all the time. My mother waxes depressive about how she thought all her children would be gathered around her like her aunts eleven children were. Only two of us live in town and my siblings all have small children. She is very negative and bizarre. I think if she continues this way she will not even make it into her late seventies though I always expected her to live into her late 80's or early nineties because that is how long lived her family is. But the narcissism really prevents her from enjoying anything. Oh well, just venting.
