    Setting boundaries with narcissists can be difficult, as they may not understand or respect your feelings. Try to stay assertive, consistent and open in your communications with her. Do not allow yourself to become too emotional or take on too much of the blame. Take care of yourself by protecting your own mental health and wellbeing.
