Gosh, more than my grandma’s npd, the more complicated problem is educating my parents about this disorder. Without their understanding, they just trigger narcissistic rage in my grandma which I have to tackle and settle.
Now I feel like I’m sharing the household with a bunch of preschoolers. Yucks!
It really does sound like such a difficult situation. I can see how frustrating it is to not only manage your grandma’s reactions but also your parent’s lack of understanding the disorder. That puts you in such a tough spot and must be exhausting. It’s understandable that you feel like you’re the only adult in the room.
Out of curiosity, do you think it’s more that your parents don’t fully grasp what NPD means, or that they don’t want to take it seriously? It’s actually really common for family members to struggle with understanding mental health, but that doesn’t make it any easier, it still leaves you carrying so much of the weight.
Do you have anyone who can support you in those moments of settling your grandma, or maybe even help your parents better understand NPD? It sounds like you’ve been left holding everything together, but you deserve support too, it shouldn’t all fall on your shoulders alone.
I really hope things get better. If it helps to talk more, I’m here to listen. Take care 
@lovelychange Hi dear, I hear how exhausting and frustrating this situation is for you. How are you feeling right now? It must be very difficult to attempt to educate your parents about your grandma’s mental health issues. It must feel that nobody understands you and nobody is on your side. How have you been coping with this situation? You can rant here, and all of us are hear to listen to you, without any judgement. Alternatively, do you have anyone in your life right now that can support you? It is stressful to be a caregiver, and you dont have to go through this alone.
Thanks @nafas and @ukiyoo ! It really means a lot !
Right now I feel much better.
I doubt if they understand the seriousness of this matter. Yes, they do express concerns but they just seem to make the process of dealing with my grandma even tougher sometimes. But don’t worry, I am explicitly conveying the implications of these outbursts with my parents and together we are taking actions for a newer horizon.
I currently cope by stepping in to voice my concerns louder then ever. Actually, support is available in terms of spiritual support, otherwise …
Wow! Words cannot explain how heard I feel. Thanks !
@lovelychange it’s great to hear that you’re feeling better at the moment, and that things seem to be taking a positive step forward.
Voicing your concerns is often difficult, but so important and I’m glad you’ve found the strength to do so despite how frustrating and exhausting the situation has been.
Thank you for updating us, it is lovely to hear how things are going and being with you through this.
Please know that we are always here for you!
@lovelychange Dear, really lovely to hear that things are improving and that you have support available.
