I cannot thank you enough for your help . I agree with your statement that my mom is the only one who can answer those questions. The answers you provided are incredibly helpful to me that words cannot explain. Your responses seem to describe how my mom behaves. However, this is only day 3 and I know I have a long road ahead of me in the healing process.
When I read information about NPD, it sometimes triggers and reminds me of my anger towards my mom. And sometimes it makes me feel validated and more at peace with myself. Is that normal to get angry and upset when reading information on NPD?
