Is it normal if i'm furious with my npd parents?

I just recently discovered that my dad has Npd (Narcissistic personality disorder) and I'm furious.
I still love him but when I think of all the years of control and emotional abuse I want to flip out.
I was never allowed to have any opinion of my own.
He never discussed anything with me because I was too "emotional"
He forced me and my sisters to wear long dresses and taught us to be ashamed of our bodies.
Guilt trips were quite common.
He never was with us, staying in his room and only venturing out when mom didn't make his food fast enough: or when he forced us into family meetings.
I try to tell myself he doesn't effect me anymore but I'm still angry.

Is it normal that I'm furious?

    Its very normal. Even though its really hard, try not to take it too personally and let it affect you and look at him through a scientific point of view.. he has a personality disorder and his brain is literally different due to a lot of factors like genetic predisposition and childhood experiences. Its tough having a narc parent but your still lucky coz there are way worse npd parents out there at the top of the spectrum who are not only severely emotionally abusive but physically and sexually aswell, the whole freaking package. You should probably see a therapist too for your mental health coz being raised by narcissists really screws up the brain, its too late for your dad he's already hardwired but you still have a chance to be well and balanced.
