Narcissistic Mother - Involuntarily Committed

In this phone call I ask my Narcissistic Mother about the day I was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward. I wanted her version of what happened and why. She is so guilty. I want answers. I actually got the nerve up enough to outright ask my Mom about what exactly happened the morning I was taken away by the police for "Saying I was going to kill myself". My Mother is Manager of radiology at a clinic that is owned and run by a major medical system. My Aunt Karen also works for the same health system as a home health aide. I believe my Mother somehow convinced Karen that I had threatened suicide often in the past and that she didn't know what she should do. I have finally after two years am starting to ask questions. I went and got my medical records from the Hospital three different times. Each time, more and more documents appear. New forms, forged by somebody, telling a story of how I was admitted "Voluntarily". The police, the hospital, neither should have been able to be duped by my NM. But they all were. I was locked away for FIVE days. This is half the reason I started this channel. If a Stealth Covert Narcissist like my Mother can pull off something that devious. It can happen to anybody with a Parent like My Mother. I really want answers and I am not stopping until I get the truth! *****Below is a commentary by a subscriber that really knows their stuff**** watched your Why to never trust a Narc video and did a little commentary I didn't know how to handle you I'm not around manic people like that [She's insensitive. She groups you with other manic people. You're labeled. Everything you say, is tinged by your label.] You weren't arrested. No you weren't. [You say yes you were. You were handcuffed and led away. But to her, it doesn't count cos it's not documented. You're undermined. You're minimised. Your experience is discounted.] You said you wanted to die. Thats what you said! [You try to explain yourself that you said something else, rhetorically. Yet again she doesn't really hear you. All this non-listening and blanking damages your confidence and self-esteem. She puts those words in your mouth] Your entirely family was concerned. What you put us through We were afraid you were gonna die We did everything for you. [By saying 'the entire family' she adds more weight to her argument. Now you begin to worry about the other members. You don't need that. Apparently she's the one that suffered... 'what you put us through'. But how about you? You were the one with the real difficulty!] You were not normal You wanted to kill yourself I just want you to be happy I just want you be healthy Thats all I want for you [She pushes her version of history. In which she appears as the saviour of you. She doesn't budge. The more you stay silent, teary eyed, the more she thinks she's convinced you.] I know nothing about you You are a stranger [Here she's put guilt on you. She hasn't lived with for 13 years. This is what's happened now, she doesn't know you well. It's your fault. It's true, she doesn't know much about you, but not cos you were away, but because she never did. She shifts her guilt over to you.] You: did you ever know anything about me? Her: *...silence* *waits till you change subject* [Here you ask for reassurance. You seek connection, you give her another chance. You are hoping to hear something that would ease your pain. You hope that for once she can make you feel truly understood. All you want is mother attachment. But no. Her silence confirms the sad truth.] You never knew how proud we were of you. When you went to school. When you had 100% in your papers You were the smartest in your class When you went to Nursing college. [All these things inflated her ego. You were an extension of her. She told her friends and family how amazing you are. Yet she doesn't ever say to you. The reality is she's proud for herself, not proud for you. She's mixing it up] It was YOU that was not good enough for us. [Yet again, it's *your* fault. She makes a point of it. All the unhappiness you have, it's cos of YOU. She and your dad love you flawlessly. All your unhappiness comes from yourself. ] Life truly is ripped away from us victims.
