[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 628657, member: 14557"] I always wonder how many of our difficult children are writing in forums like that about their narcissistic/other personality disordered parents... Of course narcissistic personality disorder has been so trendy around my neck of the woods in recent years, that it has long ago become a total joke, so that clouds my judgement and makes me very wary with this topic. Official diagnosis are the same they have always been, but unofficial, self-made diagnosis of other people have sky-rocketed. Every ex (especially if male) who doesn't behave just like you would like, has NPD, so does a boss who dares to ask you to do your work or isn't nice in other ways. And your dad, who cheated your mom. And brother with whom you are fighting about inheritance. And neighbour who complains about too loud music. Especially when one person has more than one close person with officially undiagnosed NPD, you start to wonder who actually is the one with personality disorder. Allegations of personality disorders are extremely easy way to make someone look bad. One can not defend themselves against those allegations, because whatever one says or does to defend themselves, can be just dismissed as lying and manipulation and superficial charmingness and being good at conning people.
