I think I was acutely aware of my mom's behaviours by the time I was 11. I was aware of a lot of things even younger than that. It's just always been how she is and I was learning more every year that it really wasn't how everyone was. By the time I was in highschool (probably around age 16?) I finally started to figure out that it wasn't my fault.

I only read about NPD properly this summer and it was like ".... that's my mom" when I was reading that one article I posted to you. So she isn't diagnosed and I don't know if she would be diagnosed, or if she just has a LOT of strong tendencies.
