Bit of a PL; my mom likely has NPD. She was in no way as crazy as the narcs we talk about here, but bad enough.
I realized this in my early 30s. It took another ten or so years before I was ready to go completely no contact. Before I did I kept making excuses for why I wasn't willing to do that, but they all boiled down to still craving a relationship with a mother who loved me for me. I knew I was never going to get that relationship, but hope is a powerful emotion.
Those girls likely have good memories of her, times when Kelly was love bombing them, laughing with them, buying them toys and treats, etc. Very few monsters are always monsters, and those good times are very hard to forget. There's also the isolation to consider, this is normal for these girls. They don't know any different and may never find the websites or books to educate them on npd and why they feel the way they do about her. It's a total mindfuck and inertia is strong.
I hope they do figure it out and manage to walk away. I doubt you will find many victims who have escaped that will say they regret cutting their family off. They'll be more likely to regret that things weren't different and they had to do it, but not that they did it. It's hard and I hate it for them.
