Can Narcissistic Disorder Be Treated?

Hi, I recently discovered that my mother who is deceased for about a year & a half had narcissistic personality disorder. In some ways this is a relief as I now know that I wasn t going mad all this time. I am not angry with her as I realise something in her life led to her developing this disorder. I am frustrated however that my siblings are still acting out the roles that they did while she was alive. I understand that they did this as they felt they had no other option while my mother was alive . However,I am still being treated like a scapegoat. Is there anything I can do to make them realise what they are doing or is my only choice to distance myself from them?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In that case, you should take help of a psychologist. Psychologist will help you to realize them about their bad behavior towards you. You all should be in family therapy and that need time. It would not happen in a day or months, but gradually with help of psychologist, you can tell them your thoughts to them. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
