Funny you say that, I was thinking "lucky" is what I tell myself and hope I'm right, because at this stage I really don't know. I have two adult children and a teen who had an incredible father, I never imagined that someone could not love their children the way he did. The narcissistic parent (I believe ASPD tbh) was controlling throughout the pregnancy, I had hyperemesis so constantly sick, which made it easier for him to manipulate, isolate, and control me. You're right about it being much worse when you try to leave earlier, I tried to leave so many times, and every time the tactics would increase tenfold. I so hope mine are like yours and see through it too when they're older.
