[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 728480, member: 19832"] My difficult narcissistic son knows how to manipulate and guilt me. I work hard to keep my boundaries, but I still feel like a bad person for keeping them. Latest is that his two year old daughter with his ex has been put into foster care again. My son has been in prison since she was born, but wants to parent her and is to be released this spring. He has no money, no place to live, no job, no transportation. I refuse to let him live with me because of how difficult he is: controlling, rigid, verbally abusive. I put a little $20 on his account since he is trying to deal with the court. He got upset tonight because I said I won't put $ on every week. He wants to use my address to get out. I have said no, but he still acts as if I never said that. He plans to get a private lawyer, with what? It's hard to talk to someone who is so out of touch with reality, and who is triggered by any disagreement. So, I feel like a wus because I feel guilty, I think, because it involves a child. I am afraid of his anger because he is bullying and condescending - then I get afraid. This site has been invaluable to me, but I still have a long way to go. Any advice is welcomed. [/QUOTE]
