Dear OP - Yes. This absolutely, to a tee, to an absolute pin point, describes my parents, especially my 'so called' DD. I think its part of the narcissistic trait some people (all of us to a greater or lesser extent) have. I always thought I was a shit son, too lazy, too uninterested in him, too demanding, too annoying, too whiny, too everything except fun/energetic/happy/childish! I thought he was a god that I couldn't hope to emulate and he could do no wrong. Glad I eventually saw through it, but I suspect many people never reach that stage.
