I know... I tried multiple times with my ex and he never changed. Not for long at least. We even went to couples and individual therapy, and it did not help. He's still a monster. Once a monster, always a monster. He's like a wolf in sheep's clothing because he puts on this act of being such a nice guy. But I know it's all an act.

It IS always about them. My world had to center around my ex in every way. I was always waiting on him. Literally.

Sorry about your dad. My dad had some narcissism too. Not full blown NPD but he was on the spectrum. It messed me up too! I ended up with several narcissists in my life. ARGH!
