[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for original poster who said her dad was npd. 
when did you as a child or young adult really start to feel impacted by your fathers behavior? When did you start to notice something was not quite right?[/quote]

Not the op but i also have an np dad and mom. I started to notice things weren't quite right when I was around 7 or so. I was accused of some silly thing in elementary school, and my parents totally did not believe me. They kept saying stuff like "you have no idea how badly this reflects on us!!!". And once it was finally revealed that I was innocent, they never apologized to me. That was the first time I lost faith in my parents. Then I started noticing how few true friends my dad had. I realized that most of our extended family hated my mom and dad. I also had a realization that my parents who constantly told us how smart they were were sort of stupid next to my friend's parents.  When you're little, you accept what your parents tell you as the truth. So when they say "we are so smart and beautiful and awesome and rich" you totally believe them, even if after a while you start to doubt what they are telling you.

In high school it was pretty obvious something was wrong with them, but I didn't understand it to be npd until college. My relationship with my parents is awful today as an adult because they have severe npd. My poor sister is the golden child, and I think she suffers the most from them. Sure, she is their little minion, but she is riddled with insecurities and also has npd. My other sister and I just stay away, limit contact as the pp said. [/quote]
