So I've noticed in the short time I've been here, that there are a lot of us who have a parent (biological, step, in-law etc) who exhibit signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
For years I've thought that I was alone, that I was the only one who genuinely couldn't bring myself to like my own mother because of her behaviour - but now I see I am definitely not the only one! For so long people made me feel guilty for it, like there was something wrong with me all because she would never show that side of herself to anyone else but me. Being her only child made it even harder because I carried the burden completely alone.
I know there are forums out there specifically for kids with NPD parents, but I thought it might be nice if there was a place we could go to discuss, vent, and get support from our BB family too.
So let this be a safe zone for us, free from judgement or guilt. Post your story, ask for advice, have a rant, and share resources - we're all in this together!
