My mother fits all twenty characteristics of narcicissism. What she couldn't achieve she BS'ed people into believing she had accomplished it. Due to her difficulty in accepting her imperfections she demanded perfection of me to the point if mental and emotional abuse as a child. I wasn't upset when she abandoned my father and me when I was ten. That left me only dealing with an alcoholic father who didn't come home until the bars closed. I parented on the Costanza theory of "If everything my parents did was wrong, do the opposite." Sometimes reality looks a lot different than perception if you can get inside the door of the big brick house. Any more questions?
If anyone starts talking about cigars in dreams I am sooooo off this thread ;-)
