How to get my NPD mom to be reasonable?
She has NPD and therefore thinks she's infallible and every decision she makes is law. If she decides to keep us up til 4 am, it's reasonable apparently. It's about one thirty right now and she's keeping me up sitting where I'm supposed to sleep making a facebook post that she's been using voice recognition to make for like the past hour. She thinks that's normal. I need to go to sleep and she always makes these types of decisions and doesn't accept criticism. "Do you want me to slap you across the face? I don't need a 15 year old 'telling me what to do'". How do I get her to be reasonable since she views everything as criticism and reacts with such toxicity.

The problem is that you cannot get a person with NPD to be reasonable. By definition, they only think about themselves. You have to stand up to them and refuse to back down, no matter how loud or insane they get. Now granted she might actually hit you. My NPD mother used to hit me. Until one day she got in my face and I stood up to her. I told her if she hit me I was going to hit her back. I was beyond caring, and seriously prepared to kick her @ s s! She never threatened me again. So as for this situation you in right not, just get up, go to your room, turn off the lights and get in bed. She can scream and yell all she wants, but if you just ignore her, she'll eventually go away, at least for the moment. Anyway, I'm really sorry your mother is such a royal cvnt. You deserve better.
