@thenarcdecoder1: What happens when someone with lifelong narcissistic traits develops dementia? It can create an incredibly difficult dynamic for families as memory loss, fear, and a longstanding need for control begin to overlap. If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone. #NarcissisticAbuse #DementiaCare #Psychology #HealingJourney #MentalHealth
I’m dealing with this right now. Dementia affects way more than memory. Executive function, insight, attention, and so much more.

My mom has Alzheimer’s and can’t remember anything, but she will blurt out the most painful memories of my youth in public settings. ALWAYS in public!!

I cared for 2 years for a beloved aunt with dementia and it was horrible. She was always kind and well-loved and smart. She gave of herself and was a part of so many good organizations….dementia was kind of a nightmare. I spent a lot of time thinking about how if I hadn’t loved her so much through my life, “I couldn’t do this.” It’s so true.

I saw this coming with my father who passed last winter. I was smart enough to have already gone No Contact. I made it clear that the man who abused me for decades would not get another go. I heard how he went, and I was absolutely right and smart to have protected myself from more harm.

My parents will go directly in a home. I will not deal with them. They made their bed and it will not fall on me any longer.

My mom was the most abusive malignant narcissist. She got dementia and did a 180. She was the best most loving mom her final year. She didn’t know me or forgot my name but man she loved me so hard. I sat with her the last 12h of her life.

I deal with this every single day caring for my grandmother. I've never had someone explain it so perfectly! I feel like nobody understands how hard it is to care for her. The manipulation is top tier! I never know what is her narcissism or what is the dementia... I have worked with dementia patients for a living for nearly 20 years but this is a whole other level that I was not prepared for

I work in caregiving as a caregiver and I had a client that wanted their alcohol all the time. They would constantly try to manipulate me to push them to the bank and to the alcohol store especially in -2 degree weather with ice and snow. When I refused, I got in trouble and was told I couldn't aide for the client because I refused to do what the client wanted. I was only thinking of both of our safety.(They were in a wheelchair). Their mind was already at a 10 year old level, and when they drank, their mind went to an 8 year old level. I was getting paid to babysit a drunk and it took a negative toll on me. I will be leaving caregiving after I have my child in a few months. I just can't do it anymore.

I know what happens first hand bc my boomer mom ended up with dementia and was diagnosed with NPD. It was horrific! She became exactly who I saw behind closed doors as a child and teen 24/7. She couldn’t hide her real self anymore. She became very violent. I ended up in a psych ward with complex ptsd in less than a year of her full dementia symptoms that exploded after a small stroke.
