Yes it's real. And some aspects of those relationships I have found are unsolvable problems, dead ends. For all of the things I feel good about accomplishing and creating, I can't heal that relationship. Some people are just set in their ways, it is a fact of life, and there is no solution to be pursued. It was an important lesson.

There are a lot of other problems in the world people bicker about here and elsewhere like urban planning or regulation. Things that seem like solutions can be enacted if only big movements are made, people cooperate.

Narcissistic parents are best cut off at first realization. That is a black hole of effort. You were dealt a bad hand and no social safety net would have helped (they were even tricked by the propaganda). No entrepreneur or startup is going to meaningfully address the root of people who are simply born to the wrong parents, only the aftermath. Because the parents are always right and won't be told otherwise, until it's too late. And there is no crucially important meaning behind this happenstance. It just is.

Better to spend the effort undoing the years worth of damage on yourself instead.
