Claire ,I'm not sure I've ever heard either of my parents apologize for anything. I've worked really hard at improving my apologizing form in the past year, particularly with D17. I don't know why I wasn't good at it. Maybe it's s simple as it wasn't modeled for me. That doesn't make me a narcissist. I agree with Bets here, model the behavior you want D to have and don't waste brain energy on H.
