Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Bunny, This is a fun game! Only nada would..... Insist I take her to the emergency room for breathing treatments because she was of course, dying, and then smoke a cigarette immediately afterwards. When I saw her smoking I was furious! She then tried to tell me she wasn't smoking, but was lighting the cigarette for someone else. Funny now, but not then- I had to leave work and make up the time so I could take her. > > > > Ok...i'm going to try to start something here....how about we play > a game of " Only nada would " ....here are the rules...respond to the > thread with a simple phrase and let's see where this goes.

My mom went back and forth with anorexia and was obsessed with her weight and mine.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Only Nada would, blame me for a lamp that got broken while I was in colleage three hours away. It took me five minuets to convince her there was no way that I could of broken the stupid lamp. Though I have to admitt that after that phone call I wanted to drive the three hours up to her house and break the other flippin lamp. And know these were not Tiffinay Lamps. They were like K-Mart lamps. Nothing wrong with K-Mart I shop there but deffinatly not family heirlooms. Lilly P.S. sorry that had nothing to do with you moms weight issue. I am laid up with a staph infection in my foot and I am on some heavy meds.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Lilly, You're lucky, most nada's don't get better, in fact with age they get worse. The first book I read was about dealing with aging parents. My mother was put on a mild dosage of medication for Parkinson's disease and she seems to be a little better, but the dosage isn't strong enough, she has started shaking again. She goes back to the dr. next month. Good luck, I hope your nada keeps improving. Janie Lilly LaFlure wrote: I have pretty much gotten over it. I no longer allow her the power to controle my emotions. Sometimes, something gets me, but it is not something that I deal with everyday. I however, hae the added benifit that my mom has gotten better. Lilly White wrote: Lily, Mine has nothing to do with the weight issue either, I am responding to the broken lamp. A few years ago, to the best of my recollection, after 10/27/03 my mother accused me of stealing a garnet necklace and a string of pearls from her house to my sister after I had been there for a holiday visit. #1 I had my own garnet necklace and errings, and #2 I bought her the string of pearls several years (back in the 1971) when we were stationed in Hawaii. They were real pearls, not even cultured. I also bought her earrings to go with them and she didn't like them so she gave them back to me. At the same time I bought her pearls I bought myself a string. So why would I steal hers????????????????? Several days after accusing me, my sister found them inside a purse in a dresser drawer. She has never apologized for the accusations. My birthstone as well as my mother's in garnet. The point I am trying to make here is this is another way of getting attention by BPD's......... and all it does is push us a little further away. The hurt/pain with me is so deep I don't know if I will ever get over it all. Hopefully you can recover. I feel for you, Janie Lilly LaFlure wrote: Only Nada would, blame me for a lamp that got broken while I was in colleage three hours away. It took me five minuets to convince her there was no way that I could of broken the stupid lamp. Though I have to admitt that after that phone call I wanted to drive the three hours up to her house and break the other flippin lamp. And know these were not Tiffinay Lamps. They were like K-Mart lamps. Nothing wrong with K-Mart I shop there but deffinatly not family heirlooms. Lilly P.S. sorry that had nothing to do with you moms weight issue. I am laid up with a staph infection in my foot and I am on some heavy meds. If I say any crazy stuff(crazier then I usualy do, please forgive me gals and guys) mitchell_kristin wrote: It seems like a lot of our nadas had weight issues they projected onto us. My mom went back and forth with anorexia and was obsessed with her weight and mine. I did eat in secret as a way to comfort myself when I was younger, I guess it's a FLEA I picked up, so Jae, I may have to steal your book title,lol!!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Only NADA would.... Chase me down the driveway with her car (I was on foot, running). Then when she runs into the garage door, she blames me and says that I hit it. And the ironic thing about it is I was 12. So yeah, I hit the garage with the car. --------------------------------- TV dinner still cooling? Check out " Tonight's Picks " on Yahoo! TV.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Ye Other KOs, Here are some more: Only a nada would: Yell at me so long, loud and harsh that she lost her voice and became hoarse and then said " now look what you made me do-lose my voice yelling at you " . Yell at me so long, loud, etc. 'till I almost passed out and then say, " I thought that's what you wanted " . Tell the tax man off so he won't do her taxes anymore. He just did ours two weeks ago. <smirking at nada>. Run out into the front yard in her nightgown yelling and screaming because someone took her Sunday paper off the driveway and even said herself she 'had another Lucy'. Tried to get herself admitted into a psych ward when I was in school sitting next to one of 'our' therapissants in class. Other therapissant and I got it: He said " you just want to sabotage Rita's schooling " and wouldn't admit her. Rita " And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'till her daddy takes the keyboard away " . ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
