This is so interesting. I am also 47, and it was about 24 months ago that I finally admitted to myself that my parents are narcissists, the man who was my father did not love or even like me, and the woman who was my mother used me to chase her own dreams, which she couldn’t achieve on her own. He abused me, she protected and enabled him, and now I have no contact with either of them. My only regret is that it took me so long, that I suffered for so many decades, before I accepted the truth about their narcissism.
