Son Asks If He’s Wrong For Telling His Mom That She Doesn’t Have Friends Because Of Her Narcissist Behaviour

Todays OP, ImmoralDilemma, has an interesting story. He claims that his mom complains about being bored at home with all the free time she has on her hands. Also commenting on her lack of friends, OP brings to our attention that she considers herself a lonely woman. However, the root cause for her loneliness is obvious, according to the OP, as his mother’s narcissism and desire to gossip behind people’s backs is alienating her. OP wonders if confronting his mother about this concerning behavior and letting her know why she doesn’t have any friends is a good idea or not. OP is also scared that his mother might retaliate and make things hard for him if he tried to provide a reality check. This led him to go to the online Reddit community for guidance. Keep on reading to see what happened:

#1) Oh jeez. Let’s get into it.

#2) OP calls their mom every Friday and lately she has been complaining about how she has no friends and nobody involves her in their life anymore.

#3) OP’s mom is a serial gossiper and usually spreads information behind everyone’s back so nobody tells her any sensitive information.

#4) OP got into an accident a few months ago and gave his mom permission to let everyone know what happened.

#5) OP got calls from unknown numbers a bit too fast. OP maintains that his mother is a narcissist and has never offered any proper apology.

#6) OP doesn’t know if they should tell their mom that she doesn’t have friends because she talks behind their back because she won’t take it lightly.

#7) OP states that their mother cannot figure out that it’s her behavior that’s causing all the damage.

For a while now, OP had been noticing a worrying behavioral pattern in his mother. She doesn’t take accountability for her actions and thinks that everyone else is the problem. The online community’s verdict was clear. OP wouldn’t be in the wrong but would ultimately be wasting his own time and energy on his elderly mother since he is certain that she will not change. There’s also a fear of her creating issues for him in the family. Here’s what Redditors are saying:

#8) This is an important thing to take into consideration.

#20) Trying it could be a viable option, so that at least OP can be at peace about the fact that they did all they could.
