Thank you for this comment, especially about the "simple comment" portion. My grandmother is the same way and no one else in the family will do anything to stand up to her. At best, they avoid her, but most of the time they let her control everything even though they hate it. This, despite the fact that there is an endless supply of such comments from her, tearing everyone down, letting them know how imperfect and unimportant they are, no matter what their achievements. I think most people in these situations would agree how suffocating that can be. It's great to see others airing their feelings on NPD.
