I am so sorry Pinny,that you too were treated differently. Narcissistic parents play favourites and like to put wedges between their children,so as to have total control over everyone. I agree there are good people in this world.I do have a few good people in my life,whom I want to keep.I don't confide too many details of my life because I don't want to scare them away or burden them.I keep a courteous relationship..If in pain I prefer to sob into my pillow alone.
