I think my mom has NPD traits and maybe bipolar. I had a bad childhood and I got BPD and bipolar II. I don't want to talk about her right now because I would feel very guilty, but I'd really appreciate it if someone has experiences with a high functioning NPD (probably not very serious, but it has damaged me a lot) parent and could help me understand this or just talk about it.
I posted a thread in a forum here about it but I don't feel like I managed to point out how serious it was for me or how exactly she acts like an NPD. I also don't want to continue that thread because I feel guilty.
