Over the years I have noticed people who have gotten better since one of their parents died. It's just a reoccurring observation....so I want to throw it out there
Has anyone with HPD had an N or HPD parent die and found their symptoms suddenly started subsiding, or that they were in a position moreso to heal and did successfully where before they couldn't despite their best efforts?
Is there a possibility that our parents being alive exerts an effect on our personality, the mental image of them speaking to us, or watching us, repressing us, preventing us from becoming people with our own personalities?

That is an excellent question, and I think the answer is yes. I think in some cases parents can be so domineering or controlling that their death can somewhat release their victims from the disorders that they caused. Even if they don't die, just breaking off into NC with the parents helps a lot. I've seen it with my mom, who basically had to get away from her mom's control and is much better off.
