I do know that my father was horribly abused by his father. I've think he was severe BPD and NPD. I made a promise to myself at an early age, that when I had children that I would not do the same, that I would break the cycle. I was successful with my daughter in that respect, but unfortunately I suspect I wasn't always there for her emotionally.
