My parents can't really separate at this point in their livers either. So they're stuck with each other. I don't have any animosity towards them. Not anymore anyways. When I did I completely trashed both of their reputations and tore apart our entire family in less than a year. And I psychologically ripped them both to shreds with a level of sadism that has caused my mother to realize that it's not wise to play with me, and my father is straight up terrified of me. Why did I do it? Pfft, they deserved it. So did the rest of my family that felt my wrath.

Nothing a narcissist says to/about you is ever personal, it's entirely about them. They're the kings and queens of projection. Nobody projects quite like a narcissist.
Thanks for this!
