Yeah knew about maniac (maniaco depressive) it was more of an example from a childs point of view with simple words, and you are right all over the board of course, and I do think alike. I'm only here with my anecdotal evidence from myself. My father has very low empathy (seen it like twice), mother is completely devoid of it (sort of fascinating now that I'm far away from it, she suffers a lot of course) and from a selfish point of view (๐ ) it would have helped me (but also all of us) if mother had a "stamp" Narcissistic or something on her (she went to therapy for several years). I could not have understood better I think, but I would have had the possibility to outmanoeuvre her shenanigans and build a working/functionning relationship with limits that could not exist believing everything was normal.
Anyways, that's just my personal thoughts about myself, and you must of course see the bigger picture. Cheers!
