Greetings, Abby Our 40-year-old son has turned into a complete narcissist and accuses me, my husband, and his sister of causing a family conflict that has lasted for two years. He conceals us from our granddaughter and spreads false information about us. He has responded to any attempt to reach him with nasty, profane texts.
We tried our best to provide our son with both financial and emotional support during his difficult divorce and custody battle. Despite his purportedly happy remarriage, he still refuses to let us see his kid. We are devastated. We didn’t raise him like this. Any recommendations? — NORTH CAROLINA BAFFLED
Greetings, baffled You mentioned your son’s alleged happy remarriage. Could this rift have been caused by his new wife? Something has certainly changed, unless your son had a psychotic episode following his divorce and, in his delusions, blames everything that goes wrong on you, your husband, his sister, and her husband. If he accepts that family counseling is necessary, it could help mend the rift.
