Growing up my father never acknowledged me or even had a conversation with me. Any communication was through my mother who was also what I believe to be a covert narcissist. He threatened to harm me on multiple occasions but the abuse remained as emotional, it did not extend to physical. They are 88 and 84 now and looking for support. Unfortunately, there is nothing in me to give them given this history. It’s not only a narcissistic mother that caused a lifetime of pain to their children.
