I do have to consider the possibility Mother had a personality disorder, and NPD is a candidate. Through interlibrary loan I was able to read Children of the Self-Absorbed by Nina W. Brown. Material there and the official criteria for NPD found in the DSM partially describe my mother, perhaps more than partially. I am not fully comfortable with my memories and I mistrust them.
Will I ever be satisfied with my efforts? Can I be satisfied with my efforts?
Thank you, Fuzzybear.

I had meant to quote this in my post...
I was never "pretty enough" and "never good enough"
How can we undo the program of "never good enough"?
