I am sorry about your childhood. Sadly we can't pick our family, nor can we be smart enough to know how to pick good family, until we get done dealing with bad family. If only life had an instruction manual, and we could learn from reading it. It’s the people that never internalize they are not the center of the universe. Narcisism affects all as children. Some grow out of it, some don't. The question is why. As I said, it is tough to fit any individual case into the theory, as the theory is only supposed to describe groups as a whole. I would love to know if you lack the Liberal DRD4 Mutation. Especially given that your children turned out so well. Then again, there is that undefinable element that will make some people the epitome of good, and some the face of evil. I knew a guy once who was going to be bad news whatever happened, from the moment he was born. At the individual level, it may be genes, it may be fate, it may be something else entirely. Just out of curiousity, if it's not too personal, how did the children of your mom and stepdad turn out? Liberal? Conservative?

My older brother, who currently resides in MA, claims to be conservative. However, he is, and always has been, extremely narcissistic. My older sister is to the best of my knowledge apolitical. My younger brother is very conservative - conservative to the point that he believes people will go to Hell for having tatoos. My younger sister is also conservative. However, both of my younger siblings, while living within a 25 minute distance from us, rarely come to visit our mother who resides with my wife and I (she's disabled and has Lupis). Does this information help?
