[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 476543"] First and foremost, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you today and tommorow. It seems that narcissistic behavior & difficult child go hand in hand. If she wants to make this about her-she may-but she better keep it to herself! Is there someone attending the memorial who can run interference between you and your difficult child? Keep her busy and away from you? Maybe have a key phrase like "do we have enough ice?" you can use to signal whomever that you need to get away from her? Trinity posted a list of phrases to use to detach about a week ago. You may find some helpful comebacks there. In the meantime, I think something along the lines of "I am not prepared to discuss this today, I am mourning my father" with a squeeze of her hand should stop her in her tracks. And then move on physically past her. You have to take care of yourself in these next few weeks ahead. Don't be afraid to say that to her. Empower yourself - and don't let her make you feel guilty. Stay strong {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
