Howdy Mlynn,
My biological parents had some of those symptoms you describe. Sometimes I wonder if maybe all alkies/addicts have some form of NPD. I think the most important thing I learned from "diagnosing" my parents is that _I_ was not crazy. Knowing that my parents had a well known disorder validated my feelings that _I_ am healthy and that all I suffer from is the "emotional baggage" that _they_ dumped on me. That means I can get well, that I can recover from all the low self-esteem and build for myself a life that is healthy and happy.
thanx for sharing those symptoms
Mike
