Re: I feel weird talking about this cause I almost never talk about personal stuff on the internet.

We're pretty certain my dad had NPD.

Abuse isn't always physical. It's not always about neglect either. Emotional abuse is a very real thing, even if it's hard to explain to people who have never experienced it.

My dad could be very charming in public, but was often cold and dismissive at home. He often started arguments that I had no way of winning or lashed our at me for no reason, and if I became upset, he would mock me for it.

We were only ever allowed to socialise with people he approved of. He did his best to isolate us from the rest of the family. He was never affectionate or appreciative of anyone unless he had an audience. He controlled the family finances and took anything we earned from us, only to give us a good allowance so we felt we couldn't complain about it.

I rarely bring up anything to do with him in conversation because anyone who knew him would tell you he was a very generous and loving father, but they didn't grow up in our house. I still have trouble with lots of things because of the way I grew up. I don't trust people or make friends easily, I have a lot of anxiety over money, I feel like I'm not important enough to be heard, like I will fail at everything I try without his protection and influence.

It sucks. I'm sorry I can't tell you how to feel better about it.
