My daughter's mental illness affects me... I have been requesting she pay her cell phone bill which I cover. She's now 4 months behind... I request she pay and notify that Dec 1, I'm cutting it off. Still no payment. She posts on Facebook (which I blocked and deleted her) that I'm the bad guy for turning her phone off. She's 33, has a job and owns her own home... Now it's been a week, she still hasn't paid. I'm flabbergasted. I mean what kind of mental illness does it take to get to this point? I've threatened months before, either pay or get your own plan... I've sent several emails with the amount owed, plus a request on Cashapp which is how she normally pays, nothing. The she posts on Facebook that I shut her off and no conversation... It really weird. I don't know how to deal with her fucked up outlook on life. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles, & hers as well. I don’t know that there’s an answer. Some people hear only what they want to hear. Some will never be rational, and it can be endlessly frustrating for the rational person trying to communicate with them.

This is the mental illness known as narcissistic personality disorder. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662 I believe this is often caused by a falling away from or rejection of one’s upbringing and faith tradition. Anecdotally, my observance of this disorder in others seems to be accompanied with some sort of minor relational trauma that is never dealt with by the parents involved, or they don’t recognize the seriousness of the problem at the time, and eventually spirals out of control for the individual (usually young women). I’m not a psychologist, but you may want to seek such professional help to find a way to intervene on her behalf.
