What age did you realize your narcissistic parent/s were hypocrites, and when did you start rebelling because of that?

I started rebelling when I was a few years shy of turning 30. Though, it took me soooooo long to realize that my parents don’t have my best interests. I thought because they raised me up, clothed me, and fed me, that they loved me. No… I had a few hints here and there that was telling me they are, like my mom never listened to me, praised me, or any kind of emotional support. My dad treated me like a slave all my life. Both of them gaslighted me. I was blinded from being their son because I never thought any parent would ever sabotage their own kids for their own gains.

After many years of self-loathing and depression, I realized these people were digging me into a deeper hole day by day. They didn’t want the best for me from what they’ve done and said, so I started doing my own things. I am not as close to them as I was before, but I’m finally free of their control in my early 30s.
