“NTA
I think you are right about narcissistic tendencies and I weep for your son and other children.
I also have a narcissistic mother with ridiculous standards (and if I ever reached those heights, she’d move the goalpost). Unfortunately, unlike your son, my father was a deadbeat absentee that fled when I was a toddler and currently has a new family with 4 stepkids he dotes on, living in my birth country. I on the other hand ended up stuck in the UK with only my brother and psycho mother, with no where else to run to.
So with that in mind, *thank you* for being there for your son and giving him an escape. You were not too harsh, you told the truth. She doesn’t like it because it shatters her delusion that she is a perfect mother.”
