[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is about OP saying his parents were actually diagnosed as NPD, bipolar, and BPD. Most people with personality disorders operate in a firm "nothing's wrong with me, YOU"RE the one who's messed up" mindset, and do not seek treatment or diagnosis, because they think they're fine. So how did that come about with your parents getting actual diagnoses?[/quote]

OP:  I was going to leave the thread to the wolf cryers and troll callers, but I'll answer this question. My parents have never sought help and even now, years after diagnosis, are confident that they are perfect people surrounded by ingrates, weaklings, and fools.  A couple of decades ago, after a particularly brutal incident, the neighbors called the police. My father had beaten the hell out of my mother after she has been beating my sister (not that my father gave a shit about my sister, mind you). The police arrested both of my parents. I prayed we would be taken from them permanently. Long story short, they were forced to undergo psychiatric evaluation, they parroted the right words, and we were back in their loving care in no time at all. I found out about both their diagnoses when they sued each other for divorce shortly after and started exposing each other to anyone who would listen. Ultimately, they reconciled (punishing each other by breaking up acrimoniously only to reunite as if nothing ever happened was a thing of theirs).
