Sara, your response reminded me of a time I hadn't given much thought

to lately. I was over 12 (cause at 12 I had to start doing my own

laundry) and she yelled at me about the dryer running (they were poor

and she was obsessed with " wasting _______ " ). I cried to my father,

asking him why it was such a big deal and why did she have to yell and

carry on so much, and he pretty much just sat there and looked at me,

answerless.

Thank you all so much for validating my experiences.

Okay, what is UP with the hair thing?!

I had this problem too! Is this, like, some unknown BPD criterion we should be

aware of?:

" will likely tear brush through child's hair and give child headache with

unnecessarily tight

ponytails "

My mom was weird with the physical violence. I know she would scare herself if

she hurt

me, and would say it was an accident. Once, she was at the top of the stairs

while I was at

the bottom, and she threw a glass at me. It shattered, and cut my leg to bits.

To this day,

she says the glass slipped. On other occasions, she knew where I would lie on

the floor of

my room (in front of the door to block her) and she would slam it open and hit

my head.

Again, an " accident " . All I know is, that " I'm going to kill you " look terrified

me to the core.

I still believe if I hadn't been faster than she was, she might have really

damaged me.

Somehow, I appreciated those moments, though. I understood physical violence

because it

was something I could see. All the emotional stuff was so hard to put my finger

on. How

do you explain to someone it's not just a teenage daughter/mom fight?

I did hit back though. I socked her once, and even now, I feel absolutely no

remorse.

Almost wish I'd hit her more often. It actually makes me proud...

kisses and one VERY loose ponytail,

I assume it was around when I was a kid, but even if it wasn't, if you go

slowly and take a little at a time, it cane be done with out much hair loss

and no pain...

I think the hair thing is perfect for a nada. First, she gives

herself points for being a loving caring mother by brushing her

child's hair. But unfortunately, the child is so ungrateful, she

yells, cries, etc. But the hair must be brushed - that is what good

mother's do. And if her ungrateful child is jerking around, well

then if the hair is being pulled, it is the child's fault. Poor

nada, she is just trying to help this bad child (NOT).

I was another one who could dodge and out run her untill she realized that

physicaly abusing me was a bad idea. I got really got at dodging hair brushes.

My other big thing was to dive under the bed, cause she couldn't reach me. If

she did get a hold of me I was so wiggly she couldn't keep me. The only thing

that worked is when she would sit on me. A few times when she sat on me I would

scream at the top of my lungs so she would grab a cloth and stuff it in my

mouth. Holy Crap know that I look at this, that was scary as heck. Ok I meant

this to be a out ran her story but I guess I didn't allways. Do any of the rest

of you start off a post and then a stream of consiousness just takes over you

and you remember stuff you burried? It is kind of scary for me when it happens.

Then I get all worried that you all aren't going to believe me......oh my I am

havig a KO moment!

Wow, I think you nailed it! There might also be some " well, brushing

hair hurts. My mom brushed my hair and it hurt. " You think Nada rips

through her own hair though? Or does she take time and care with it?

> Can i just say in a very small voice that my older daughter insists

that she wants her hair long, but throws a rip-roaring fit so often

when it's time to brush it, that i have told her that if this doesn't

stop, we'll have to get it cut short in a bob, because it needs to be

brushed. i don't intentionally pull it, but sometimes we are in a

hurry, because it has taken so long to get her to stand still and have

it done. i do take it piece by piece and try to be gentle, but i have

explained to her that sometimes it hurts to get the tangles out. i

have very long hair and sometimes it hurts when i brush it, but that's

just how it is with long hair!!< it's just that i am so insecure and

worry about the bpd fleas i have that i need to explain this! i think

kids just hate to get their hair brushed in general, and my daughter

specifically is pretty sensitive in many ways.

Sara, I agree with you.

The words is MINIMIZATION ladies and gentlemen. The minimize their

affect on us and sow seeds of doubt in our brains about what

happened to hide it.

From my point of view - that's two abuses!

Start at the bottom of the hair and go slowly. Is she old enough to

brush her own hair yet? You can teach her the technique of starting

slowly at the bottom. If you're at least trying to be gentle and

taking it in sections...that's way more than my mom did. :)

I recently remembered this really disturbing thing that my nada and

grandmother did. Every summer vacation, they would say that I had

dirty ears and they woudl hold me down and " clean " the supposed

blackheads by popping them with a bobby pin. My father never

intervened, and neither did my aunt,t hough I noticed she never

allowed them to do it to her daughter. I remember enduring hours of

agony every night. Big tipoff for me that there was something wrong

with my grandmother, too...and yet I never thought to criticize it,

just accepted that I was " dirty " !

Lilly, this is terrible! How awful for you, this would scare the

pants off anyone, nevermind a child.

I remember that while my mother only carried through on the threat a

few times, she loved to say " I'll take a hairbrush to you " . She

must have gotten it from somewhere!

This is where I have huge questions. I don't remember much, but having seen

my mother with my children, she pushes them one side, slaps them, pinches

them, I am beginning to realise she probably did the same with me. I was

told by my god mother that she wouldn't pick me up when i was crying as a

baby. Very not there.

I became almost reclusive when I grew up, not having many friends, disliked

my own name intensely. Was v polite at home, even asking if I could use the

phone. I just knew I didn't want to rock the boat.

Still trying to piece it all together.

sure do !! I was so terrified of nada my whole life...she'd threaten to

kill me many times, and tried a few...and with the hair brushing, she used

to make my ears bleed by brusing over them so hard...I started getting my

hair cute really short !! That also made her loose her hair grabbing

potential and she could drag me around like she did my sister

Jackie

I was another one who could dodge and out run her untill she realized that

physicaly abusing me was a bad idea. I got really got at dodging hair

when blood is drawn because the hair is brushed over the ears so roughly...I

don't think that can be " accidental " or the natural pulling of hair being

brushed..

how awful !! they sure do like to inflict pain..and seem to delight in it

:-( My nada, a few years ago, told me she learned a new way to make a

headache go away. I had one, so like an idiot, I let her do it...she bent

her arm, and shoved her elbow as hard as she could between my shoulder

blades on my back !! I ended up with a nasty bruise..and man that

hurt...and I still had the headache too...

It's funny that you mention hating your own name. I believe Lilly made a post a

few days again where she mentioned changing her name. I've always hated my name.

I don't even use it. I go by Jae, obviously. But my original name is . I

just use the initial and spell it different lol. I've been thinking hard about

changing it when I marry. New nuclear family, new life, new " home " so to speak,

why not a new name?

Is this a common KO thing? I know it's expected that we would have problems

forming a strong, cohesive identity, since our BPDs often force us to adopt

theirs or one that makes things easier on them. I could definitely see a

relation there. I actively dislike the person that that name represents to me

and I hate hearing it or seeing it written. Anybody else?

This is where I have huge questions. I don't remember much, but having

seen

my mother with my children, she pushes them one side, slaps them, pinches

them, I am beginning to realise she probably did the same with me. I was

told by my god mother that she wouldn't pick me up when i was crying as a

baby. Very not there.

I became almost reclusive when I grew up, not having many friends, disliked

my own name intensely. Was v polite at home, even asking if I could use the

phone. I just knew I didn't want to rock the boat.

Still trying to piece it all together.

I went through a period where I hated my name too.
