Is anyone out there dealing with a malignant narcissist daughter? I really would like some help in identifying behaviors which are classic narc.
Why does she tell me one day she has faith in me, then a week later she tells me I don't listen, and I don't know what I'm talking about. Why does she deny saying something to me I know she said? Why won't she address the elephant in the room? Why does she act like there's not a damn thing wrong, when the world is obviously on tilt?
She called me a [BLEEP] [BLEEP] last month while standing on my porch. It was daytime, so I'm sure all my neighbors heard, but I think that's what she was after.
Last year she said she hated me right in the middle of a crowded laundromat. She has always shied away from being the center of attention, and she loathes confrontation.
It's like she's going insane. She's doing the exact opposite of what she normally does. Oh that reminds me; she told me I had mental health issues. Well actually I do, or rather, I have a personality type myself. I am a co-dependent empath. Let the games begin!!!
I start counseling next week to help me deal with this ****. I'll probably be going for life.

Well, thank goodness you're going to counseling.
Maybe she's on drugs. You did say this isn't how she used to be.
Glad you are going to counseling. I’ve had to deal with this with a family member,running hot and cold , getting into rages, name calling, accusations etc. it’s an emotional roller coaster and you’re constantly walking on eggshells. Since you are not in a position to diagnose your daughter ( only a professional she seeks help from can do that) but you can share with your counselor ways she has behaved, ways you have reacted and hopefully come up with strategies to help you and possibly your daughter.
Spuggy,
She'll never seek out therapy for an admitted condition of hers. My God, do you know when I tried to tell her about the information I found pertaining to narcissism, she answered exactly as the article said she would; 'I don't have time to hear you tell me your issues are my fault because of malig",,,,I cut her off there. .........Typical, classic narc answer.

You have to know that you can't walk into someone and tell them they are a malignant narcissist without some blowback??

Interestingly I have a friend who is convinced her mom and sis are Narcissists but SHE is one! She sees them everywhere!

Reason: Fixed technical glitch in quote.
details:
how old is your daughter?
how old are you?
yes, it makes a difference.
let the games begin.
This. Is your daughter a teenager? That's a critical fact being forgotten.
Also OP, personality disorders are usually patterns of behavior seen over many years and decades. Not sudden aberrations from normal, expected behavior from someone (you describe her as "going insane", which implies a rapid shift). Maybe, have you considered that something is happening in her life she isn't telling you about?

According to OP's profile, the daughter was 31 when she completed the "About Me" section.
