It might just be.
I grew up in a family where nobody talked about their emotions. My dad is closed as hell when it comes to his emotions. He just tends to drink it away in beer.
After my parents divorce I went with my mom and lived there for about 6 years.
Those were the worst 6 years of my life. My mom is incredibly controlling and nothing was ever good.
When other people came by to visit, she was like an angel to me, but whenever I was alone with my mom, she would stomp me into the ground. Causing me severe depression and substance abuse (Alcohol and weed). My education got fucked up due to it and my life pretty much was gone. The only thing I felt was emptiness and hatred.
After 6 years I finally stood up to myself and began to move against her. After advice of my uncle, I moved in with my dad. My dad can be pretty damn harsh in his words, and I feel like he does not understand how much impact my mom had on me. But just like my dad, I'm very closed too when it comes to my emotions, so I tend to solve it on my own.
To be honest, I think my mom might have NPD, but I'm not 100% sure.
