So yes, many commonalities in Nparents.
The other comment I want to make is this. While an Nparent is incapable of truly loving their children, the sad truth is that families that enable this behavior because the other parent is a co-dependent, results in the child not receiving love from either parent. The co-dependent dotes exclusively on the N and therefore cannot develop a healthy, loving relationship with the children....So essentially, the child is left with no parent....
So many commonalities for sure. Good comments Sunblue. Looks like I need to hit the books to learn something about Co-dependence, because this might explain where my mother fits into the FOO. Someone outside the FOO system once applied this label to her. Her behavior phases from indifference to over attachment depending on her personal moods. I think she mistakes attachment for "love". But the result for the offspring was no real love from either parent.
