Thank you so much! I'm doing okay really, found a couple of family group al-anon meetings close by where I live so think I will go to one, to help me fight against my Codie tendencies.
I've found some good info on the Internet about children of NPD's. The stuff about ACOA fit me, but there was always the feeling that there was something more going on, and finally when I read about NPD and the effects on children raised by NPDs, my family and my own struggles made so much more sense.
Well, brava to us for surviving, and high hopes that we all will thrive now and find peace in our lives.
Thank you so much for your post!
