It's been twenty years since I read up on Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder, both of which my ex-wife (well, still wife at the time) was diagnosed with.
Of everything I read (which was everything I could find at multiple libraries) the most poignant expert quote I found was also the most memorable. Said this doctor; "Give me an insane person over one with a personality disorder any day, as insanity is at least somewhat treatable".
Twenty years ago, experts in the field believed your mother and my ex-wife incapable of change. In the case of my ex anyway, they were correct.
