A student of psychology once told me that it was worth considering that my mother has NPD, and that I'm a "survivor of abuse of a parent with NPD", or something along those lines. So, my question:

What are the symptoms of, say, me, who had a mother who has NPD? I lived with her from 0-12, although on and off, for the next couple of years, she appeared in my life, but I've not seen her in over 10 years, so far as I know; pretty much the same goes for having talked to her. The only thing I can say that rang true for me, was that I always felt like I could do nothing right, and my sister could do nothing wrong. My sister always seemed to get the attention and/or preferential treatment. I've not seen my sister in pretty much the same time-frame as my mother, in-fact, likely much longer. I've not spoken to my sister in a good many years, and I loathe her for a few reasons I probably don't really need to get into it. Not sure what else to add.
