"Narcissists that cannot apologize even to save their own skin, or to manipulate others for their own gain are just too far gone, IMO. It's a weakness for sure"
I think this is the kind I'm dealing with....It's so hard. It's my sister-in-law. She also teaches my daughters gymnastics. She's a good teacher for the older girls because they can handle the way she teaches, but my daughters are three and six. They're getting ready for a recital, and my 6-year-old and her entire group are having difficulty with the routine. And for my sister-in-law it HAS to be perfect. Last Friday I told her my daughter wasn't feeling well and may not be able to do as well. During practice, she yelled at my daughter, "If you're going to have one of your little breakdowns, you can just run out there to your mama." Other students and mothers heard this. They all looked at me like, are you just going to take that? Well, they don't know her like I do. My daughter and just left in the middle of practice. She has told my brother a completely different story, but I'm not relenting. I know what I heard. Maybe as a narcissist she can see no wrong with what she did or said. All I know, is we'll never get an apology. As of now, we're all just getting the silent treatment...her favorite form of punishment.

"I apologized for things that never happened and things I never did. It was insanity..."
This is what I've done in the past to keep the peace with my brother, but I just can't do it anymore!!
