Narcisist father
I'm sorry but I must say it... I hate my father. He doesn't respect me at all, he seems to be sweet but I reality he just manipulates everyone about him. He knows the damage that he does still he is very smart to get away without consequences, he is also very clever to look like the victim always.

This might be tough for you and leaving an emotional impact on other family members also. anyone with this kind of mindset may be a self-absorbed and manipulative person. They also may have a sense of entitlement among others. They also may try to belittle their own family members. I always feel that self-care is the next step after recognizing such mindset from a family member.
On the outside he is kind, patient, he know how to control the narrative. He rarely screams. Actually he pushes you to scream because he is negligent. I always remember my mother crying cause she had so much economic weight on her shoulders and he always had an excuse to not help with any money at home, like my car needs new tyres, without it, I can't work. My mother needs money, I can't deny it to her, but when my mom was desperate she was the crazy one. I also remember once when I got on the school bus, (here it's an extra charge) and the bus driver deny entrance to me. He said that I must pay before getting in, I went back home, humiliated and worried cause I had an exam and he said that he had payed already, my mom arrived from a night-shift. He just said that he had already paid. My mom and I took taxi to take me to school, when we got there, it was for sure that he hadn't payed anything. We felt more humiliated. That night he said that he wasn't sure if he payed or not.
@koalaC I feel you...

Sorry that you have to deal with this, it's alot and especially made more difficult when it's a parent and when no else sees or gets that they are even doing this 💜
My father was the same way. It sucks badly. But you gotta remain strong and not let him win with his manipulative games.

I am really sorry to hear that, I truly understand how you feel my father is exactly the same and everyone see he's victim and we are the bad one , I know how exhausted is that and how you may feel depressed and drained bcz of it , I really hope you can have good plans that helps you to get through all that 🥺
I understand how you feel, although I might not understand the narcissistic part. I also have a bad relationship with my father and your feelings are valid. I'm so sorry for how your father treats you, you don't deserve this and I'm glad that you can say your true feelings about him out loud.
I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope you’re okay okay now wherever you are ❤️
@KoalaC I'm so sorry. Covert narcissists are a nightmare. I know it. They mask it so well.
Better be aware
I am sorry that you experience that!
You can at least choose (when old enough) to get away
