Father with cancer and narcissistic mother
gratitude28:
My dad worried about my mother too. It made me mad that she still had to be the focus. I know he realized more what she was at the end, but he couldn't quite let go of his false idea of her. How are you doing? Are you ok?
Hopalong:
My father was able to let go soon after i promised him I would always take good care of NMom.
I could feel his relief and his release.
No way his 50 years of loyalty to her were going to evaporate, and I honored him by that promise.
Hard as it was, I'm glad I kept it.
Hops
Lucky:
My father was suffering from delerium these last days and therefore was not aware of a lot of things. He had an infection, suffered a lot of pain and is being given quite a lot of morphine. That is what caused him to be very confused. My mother seemed to miss being his focus of attention but I must say that she is not behaving too badly. She is actually surprising me how well she is behaving. Compared to what I am used to.
Lucky:
To be honest, I am starting to doubt if my mother really is behaving so well... My eyes are opening and I am starting to see someone who is mostly concerned with her own wellbeing.

How is your dad doing? Are you able to be with him?
