Sambeaux: You could be a _______

You could be a Narcissist if:

You have a "toyboy" that's 40 years younger than you.
You try to sell the trees on your daughters land to get the toyboy back.
You call the Adult Protective Agency on your daughter when you get mad.
You threaten to call the Child Protective Agency if your grand-daughter won't clean your house and keep up your yard.
You believe "It's OK to lie if you benefit from it"
You frequently tell people "I'm beautiful"
Your narcissistic rage has its own name ... "Throwing a Hissyfit"
You hurry to get into your Son-in-Laws recliner so he has no place to sit.
Make it a practice to get into his side of the bed to take a nap when you visit.
You park in the "Reserved for Clergy" a the hospital.
Take food off of other peoples plates at Piccadilly, though you said you are not hungry. Saying "We always share"... but its always about U.

You could be a criminal if:

You cash checks made out to another person.
You get a bank employee to look into someones bank account to see how they are spending their money.
You have not paid your income tax in years.

How to deal with a narcissistic mother (fm www. daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com)

If you're an adult woman living away from home, you still have to deal with her. You have three options:

See her as usual. Just give up any hope of ever having a normal mother-daughter relationship with her. Try to be amused by her behaviour (they really are soooo predictable) rather than frustrated. Don't play her games.
Go what's called Low Contact. Severely limit the amount of time you spend with her. Make contact be on your terms. She may argue, or try to get over this - turning up uninvited etc, but you'll need to be firm. Somebody who has more experience than I in dealing with her narcissistic mother is writing a piece for me on this, and I will share it as soon as I have it.
Go what's called No Contact, which is self-explanatory. This is a huge step, albeit very worthwhile, and I very much encourage you to read this section.
