Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Hi all, I'd just like to make a comment here, in relation to what it seems. everybody is getting so upset about, all of these confrontations, & whether to or not, all of us that know our 'OWN Parents' well enough, After WE Ourselves Had to CONFRONT Our Family First, & really, on how many occasions do you think it took US??? All I'm saying here, is that it seems unfair of US in many respects, & We Cannot Force Anyone whether to confront/disclose or not to, or cut ties or not to, that's a very personal choice, & something we then have to live with for the rest of our lives. It's something that they will find out for themselves, hopefully with the guidance & support of a good therapist, all in good time, as being a part of the process of Our healing/recovery, just like WE NEEDED To, & DID. We all Need to do these things in our Own Time, & not force our opinions on some of these poor girls, who are very Hurt & upset, scared, & also at times, even age regressing, some, are only just starting counselling, & everyone is trying to tell them what they SHOULD Do. I would like to think that we would know better than this, Especially if we have been dealing with these issues (Recovery & Awareness, I'm talking about here) for longer than what they have, & we could try & be a little more understanding, remembering, that they are Very susesptble to Projection at the moment, & I truly believe in my heart, that they have done exceptionally well so far, & deserve praise, I had never come anywhere near to what these women have, in that amount of time! It's OK to rubbish you own nada/fada etc. to shreds, that's what we are here for, to air our own feelings about Our Own Families, & allow others to do the same as when they need to, & on THEIR Terms, not anyone else's. Remember when there was a time, even though our nada's had p**sed us off to the Max, & we HATED Them, or Got ANGRY+, but then, if anyone said anything against our mum or dad, & put them down, we then defended them!!!??? It's because when someone insults our mum or dad, we take it personally, We may not have wanted to, & didn't mean to, but We just did, & it hurt us too, feeling as though it was US that had just been insulted. So, we must think a little, & allow everyone to feel as they do at this point in Their life, because if we push too much, I'm afraid that it will more than likely cause a lot of damage to these poor lovely girls/Women! who are trying so hard to come to terms with all of this. As I said, say what you want about your own, but don't be so adamant as to tell others how they SHOULD Feel & /or or ACT. There's a big difference in me saying, my PITA Good For Nothing NADA, who had bpd, npd, & PAS, at least, hurt me so much, I feel as though I will hate her to her grave! Other than saying, my nada is like this, therefore, yours is too, so I suggest that YOU Had better do This, That & This, or Else, YOU'LL Never be the same again in Your Life!!! In the second example, I am not talking about my nada at all, I'm talking about YOUR NADA!!! Do You believe that this would be in my best interests to do this, let alone the best interests of the poor person's family that I am attacking in the meantime, therefore, attacking the person directly! & although we really do believe that our bpd carers, have never heard a word that we said, ( & it probably looks as clear as day to us that they don't) that's impossible, because even the most severe form of Personality Disorders, Never stay totally psychotic all of the time, there are times when they do remember, & they can't help but to reflect on past actions of theirs, & that's when they feel it. They will probably never show us that side, but it has to be there, otherwise they would be locked up & the key thrown away, as what some seem to be implying is that they have totally lost their minds, & are void of all feelings, this just simply is not true, it could be for a high majority of the time, but Not Always, & I am Not speaking about Myself here either, I am speaking about All Personality Disorders, until one has completely lost their mind, & they need to be institutionalised for their own good. Insanity, I think it's called??? Anyway, let's be gentle on each other & ourselves here, we're working really hard, & we really Need each other's support at the moment, as there are many sad things happening in all of our lives at the moment. Take Care All.
