Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 That's unbelievable....yet she was aware of what she was doing, i.e., that the tranqs got transmitted thru breast milk. On the " happy side, " at least your nada did breast feed you. My nada told me that she could not stand me sucking on her breast.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I still think that nada caused it (hehe)! We had to be so sensitive to everything to survive being raised by a nada. That could have done something to our immune system. I really think so, b/c I have ALL the same allergies that you list! --- cckidsinc@... wrote: > > well as an adult I have gotten severe severe > allergies to dust mites, > pollen, cats, etc! even with breast milk... > > > In a message dated 8/19/2005 9:38:33 PM Eastern > Standard Time, > kohw2002@... writes: > > A few years ago a medical doctor attributed my > environmental allergies to the fact that I was not > breast fed.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Unfortunately, I can imagine a BP mother doing just that. I have found my own mother to believe that babies and children are trying to control the adults, and that anything goes in order to keep the children from doing that. My nada brags about letting me cry all night long when I was about 2 months old. My grandmother had come to visit prior, and grandmom had rocked me to sleep every night. My mother thought I was spoiled, and she was teaching me a lesson by letting me cry instead of picking me up. This is, of course, the woman who says that there was never a child who was loved as much as I was.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 My nada brags about letting me cry all night > long when I was about 2 months old. Wow, I could have posted this. My nada used to talk about me being such an easy baby she " only " had to pick me up for feedings (bottles of course, breastfeeding was unthinkable to her). I suppose I learned not to cry since it was not going to get me anything. After my brother's birth I used to beg my nada to pick him up when he cried but she rarely did. He cried a lot and I wanted him to be taken care of but at 2 years old I could not help him. My nada talks about how she would find me in his crib trying to soothe him! I cannot believe how much this group is helping me. It is so liberating to be able to talk about my past with people who don't recoil in horror. Reading the book Understanding the Borderline Mother was purely compelling and a major eye opener. I am still working on reading SWOE but am finding it a bit overwhelming and have to take frequent breaks. Kerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 When recalling my infancey, my mother complains about my paternal grandmather, whom my parents lived with for awhile, because she allowed her to order her around, and she says my Grandma would tell her to " oh just prop that baby up with a baby will ya, and get over here and play cards with me. " She says my Grandma was horrid. I think my Grandma either had Bipolar disorder, BPD or both. I've heard that my Dad was abused by her, but you would never know that from talking to him. My mother told me when I was born, his mother came over to 'help with the baby' (me), and the 2 of them (he and his mother) went out and partied, and left her at home by herself. I never know how much is an exaggeration with her. My BP mom has always exaggerated, particularly if it is something emotional to her. I never found my grandmother to be the way in which she describes her, and I knew her very well. She could be irritible and had mood swings it seems, when she was younger, I do remember that (she was in her 50's). Anyway, I can just imagine me (the baby) sitting there with no one to pay attention to me or hold me, while those 2 played cards, my mother miserable. Of course nada would never take responsibility for this or any other action or choice she has made, because this is her nature, isn't it?
