Just from my knowledge of narcissism it would depend if the mother was a narcissist also. If they both are then in most situations the mother would be in the middle of things stirring the pot and pretending as if the child does no wrong. Except for tifs that just add to the drama they need.

While this isn’t exactly the type of answer you are looking for... my mother is a narcissist. We have a very difficult relationship. We actually don’t speak unless we have to. She needs constant attention and applause and is confused and hurt that I don’t have time for this. I usually have to gently but stand my ground that my life has other demands.
