People can be extremely frustrating. Nobody likes to be labeled with something that is equated with "evil" especially when the label doesn't even apply in the first place.
It sounds like your mother has used your father just to have a slave in many respects. She succeeded from how your father talks about her.
Psychopaths have that air of contempt about just about anyone they feel like directing it towards that day. They'll insult you, make fun of you, psychologically rip you to pieces over and over again and then ask something like, "oh you seem so upset, was it something I said?"
How would I know? Well, I think anyone on here who's been reading my posts for any length of time knows the answer to that question lol.
I've also been subject to a lot of projection from people who have mother issues. That's been a very consistent pattern in my life. Someone recently got extremely angry at me because I reminded her of her mother and I said in a monotone, "that's because for all intents and purposes, I am your mother." Needless to say, that did not go over well. Though it was highly entertaining for me.
Nobody who's ever treated me professionally thinks I'm at all borderline. But I do know how to fake the disorder, I learned that one as a teenager. It's had its uses.
