Kind of.

BIL is in hospital so the focus and sympathies are with him. She doesn't want to miss out on anything so she becomes the Martyr. Look at me/us. Now feel sorry for me because my son is sick.

I think it's more out of boredom (even though martyrs are ALWAYS busy). The manipulation is just a bonus.

so it's opportunistic? It's how she handles situations she is presented with.

I think I'm starting to better understand how narcissistic think and behave
