My mother is a full-blown narcissist who has never thought about anyone but herself for a moment of her life. Even my dad’s death earlier this year is all about her. She has told me multiple times that her grief is more than my grief and she doesn’t seem to understand why I haven’t reorganized my life to make it about her instead of my wife and young children.

I’m nothing like her. Most kids who escape a parent with toxic traits strive to be their exact opposite. I sure as **** do.

I’ve been on record as saying his holdout is selfish and ill advised.

Oh you are record? Apologies I had no idea. I guess what’s unfortunate though is being on record with that is worthless because we have no idea what’s going on here with his contract to determine it’s selfish or ill advised. And what little we can hypothesize is way short of comparing his personality to a self destructive narcissist.

You swung and missed. Better luck next time.

Reminder that Chris Jones’ dad doesn’t seem to make the best decisions.

You and I clearly view his holdout differently.

You are just creating nonsense out of nowhere. So yeah definitely different. The only thing we know is he wants a new deal. We don’t know how much, years, what’s been offered, etc. so making the comparison you made is ridiculous. The only thing you can even approach is to suggest he might be being selfish, but even that is basically impossible to gage without important information. Your comparison to saying he is like his dad in this is absurd.

Mom was the salt of the earth. Talked to us for about 30 minutes while they waited for their ride to the stadium. Told us about being poor. The Dad was a mess. He had on a great suit but he talked like a gangster, bragged about everything. What Mom saw in the guy, I'll never know.
