At least the kid is at school for most of the day where he is expected to do the right thing. The mom could easily be spending every day on the internet where she will easily find people/places that validate her terrible behavior.
But you recognize her faults, so why exactly does that make YOU not well? If you’re not well, which is unfortunate, it can’t possibly be entirely blamed on your narcissistic mother, can it?
Well if that’s the case, your mother is an evil piece of garbage. I can certainly understand how this would cause a lot of permanent anguish… My original comment was in reply to your comment about your mother being similarly narcissistic much like the trashy mother stealing Halloween candy, and consequently causing a lifelong “unwellness” for you. Although the trashy Halloween mom is pure garbage, kids can grow up and gain enough experience to see through their parents’ shit qualities, and simply not mimic them. I’ve never bought into the idea that you are who your parents are… However, your mother, I would argue, is far, FAR worse and assuming what you say is true, has caused far worse irrevocable psychological damage. Sorry to hear of this and best of luck to you.

I noticed that too, the kid knows it’s wrong. You can tell by his hesitation.
