Here are 20 definitive signs you have a manipulative (a.k.a. narcissistic) mother. 1. She guilt-trips you when you try to establish boundaries. Boundaries are a normal, healthy part of human relationships. They mean that you know who you are, and how youâd like to be treated.
One of the happiest moments in any parentâs life is when their child reaches achievement and autonomy. But a manipulative mother doesnât want you to be successful or independent, not really. She wants to maintain her control over you, so sheâll manufacture ways to keep you dependent on her.
Ironically, this is probably what she experienced in childhood, too. A child whose emotional needs are not met will learn manipulative or deceitful ways to cope.
Stepmom, let's just get something straight right now. You are going to make a lot of mistakes. Like, a LOT lot. Please don't do what I did and spend years convincing yourself that something is very wrong with you because you seem to screw everything up. Forgive yourself.
One of the hardest parts about being a stepmom is the need to keep quiet about the tough stuff and how it's affecting you. If you've got to let it out, limit your thoughts to a very close, trusted friend, or even better, tell it to your counselor or therapist. Which brings us to number three.

You do not need to prove your innocence to anyone if you are indeed innocent. You already know in your heart that you have clean hands and this is all that matters. It is not necessary to prove to anyone that you are not guilty. Do not fuel the evil fire by giving these lies power.
I'm sorry about your situation. You probably can't change your sister's behavior but you can learn to change how you react to all of this. It will take practice on your part but it will be worth the changes you make for yourself. Don't allow her to take your power away or to diminish you.
One way to spot a blamer is by narcissistic behavior. If the person demonstrates signs of NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), blaming others for personal problems in life feels normal to them.
Narcissists are preoccupied with fantasies of power, success, and brilliance, along with a high sense of entitlement. They can be rude, arrogant, and even abusive. They are usually quite defensive and arrogant. You'll never be able to reason with them, so don't even try.
Chronic blaming is a form of emotional abuse and often hurts just as much as physical pain does. We feel helpless over the blamer and a certain fear sets in.
