My dad was what they used to call manic depressive-undiagnosed. He definitely had narcissistic traits but he wasn't officially diagnosed so I cant be sure. He was a poly-substance addict. Alcoholic for sure, speed, other people's prescriptions. He started out as a hippie doing recreational drugs and never stopped. I found out the extent when I had to clean out his office. He died in the driveway of a massive heart attack when he was 47 on his birthday- its been 19 years. I never thought I would have lost my Dad when I was 24. he abused me- and changed course only the last two years of his life so I guess I got something good out of his life. I believe his addictions made him a horrible person which is why I am not sure if he was really a narcissist so I think @Divine is on to something.
