I reckon my dad probably has a narcissistic personality disorder. My mum (now demented) thinks he has something wrong with his brain. It seems to add up - I was definitely used as a scapegoat. My youngest brother was the golden child who could do no wrong. He flies into tantrums over nothing normal, then blames whoever is around. His behaviour is definitely contextual. When he thinks people are high up, he grovels. It is very much a case of Charm over the Cocktails and Hell over the Shredded Wheat.
I am very worried about my mum's care (he is the main carer). Her memory clinic doctor is very worried about her care too. My dad won't listen.
What are the implications of a positive diagnosis of NPD?
