Why the Slippery Slope?
I am not presently updating this site.
Having grown up in a house with a mother who is a narcissist and a passive father I always had the feeling that I was one step away from sliding down the slope. I never knew when my mother was going to lose it and start screaming and sometimes she’d start hitting too. I am the eldest of 2 and my brother, and I are very different people. He is a resident of the northeast, and I am a Texan. Our worlds don’t overlap. If we didn’t come from the same parents, I don’t know that we would ever interact.
Fast forward, Dad developed Dementia/Alzheimers and later died of the disease, and now mom is in the early stages of some form of dementia and again and yet still another slippery slope.
This blog will be personal. My hope is that it helps someone else who is either struggling with a narcissist, dealing with a parent or spouse with a degenerative memory disease or any combination that is possible.
Any one of these imbalances is a challenge to deal with but when you combine them, watch out!
