I think Anne brought up a topic that is bothering a lot of people, including me. some people even wish their elders should die. but it doesn't bother me so much any more. That is because I've befriended an elderly woman, who, despite her physical disabilities, she is filled with love and happiness. She is friendly, humorous, and clever. I love to listen to her tails of 70-80 years ago, and I benefit from her rich life experiences. This finally satiated my long nagging question of why old people exist. [I used to think that they're here just to make our lives miserable.] now I know that they're here to give us a better life, and to give us a chance to show them appreciation for preparing the world for our generation.
And about the narcissistic people, like my mother, they're here to help us become healthier and better people by learning how to create real healthy boundaries and still be nice to them. the book "THE BOUNDARY IS YOU" helped me a lot with this.
good luck!

I am older than dirt, 75, my life is full, I serve on 2 HOA boards and 1 Corporate Board. I travel, drive my motorhome all over and have fun!

My motto is "Busy Hands Are Happy Hands"!

Where I live it is a 55+ community, most are miserable and some are very nasty, they are mad because they cannot do what the used to and have no inclination to pivot and do new things. All they do is complain, yet do nothing to improve the situation.

My mother is a Narc, she has been nasty and trouble all her life. I no longer talk to her, I had enough of her toxic dumping.

I do not surround myself with those miserable old people, I leave them in my dust.

Take back your life, get out of the situation you are in, don't let this person turn you into a mini me. You will be surprised how behavior can rub off on another.
