Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 OH MY!!!! WOW! WHere do you start? How do you begin to process something that convoluted, scheming, mean, and controlling. Wow! Many of the things she said have been things my mother has said to me (you owe us your life, we gave you everything, we paid for everything etc.). My pastor says, " if you listen close enough to people they will confess their own sins. " I believe your mother is confessing or better yet projecting her own sins (issues) onto you and your wife. She has no boundaries not even between her friends. Basically she is saying to you because you called a " friend " of hers you are a controlling, disobedient, son not even worthy of talking to those whom she knows personally. Wow she has a god complex. I think this is BPD in its truest form. In fact, I'm keeping this letter just to remind myself of the true character of BPD. Don't fall into her trap. She is shooting on all cylinders trying to use a last ditch effort to reel you back into her cocoon. Stay strong. I'm sorry about that, that had to hurt coming from your own mother. Kelley To: WTOAdultChildren1@...: tmess9@...: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:56:11 +0000Subject: Please Help me by giving your opinion of an Email recieved from my mom. My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we do helps things. I question whether my mom has a BPD, or some other mental illness. I ackknowledge I have probably made mistakes, as has my wife, but i am just wondering what people's opinion is on the email i recieved after a fight i had with her. I am at a loss and any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry this email is really long....You have some nerve using YOUR parent's friend to still do your job on your apartment! What a hypocrite you are. If you truly wanted to distance yourself from us and be your own man, you certainly wouldn't be calling our friends to help you out. Sure, get your discount rate but ignore your parent's who were the one's who enabled you to get it!!. It'd be like us calling one of your friends to do us a favor now, how would that feel Tony? I'm sure you wouldn't be at all pleased with that scenario and that you'd actually be angry that your friend even obliged you. However, our friend Homer is too nice of a guy not to work something out for you simply because YOU ARE OUR CHILD!!!! Why not tell Homer about what you think of your mom and dad? Why not tell Homer how you wouldn't let us in the apartment, how you threatened to call the police on your mom and then called your mother a f'ing bitch! Why not tell him that it's been 5 days since and you still have no remorse?Hypocrite of the year award is granted Tony. YOUR selfish parent's do and have done nothing for you in all area's of your life but your still continue using us to your advantage now don't you?What have your wife's parent's friends done for you? Or for that matter what has you wife done for you except leave you in anguish because she can't be satisfied. What a cop out your phony complaint list was, and I knew the minute you got to the part about how we didn't " include Becca in our conversation " , what it was all really about! What is she a 3rd grade mentality now, and we have to spoon feed her to take part in a general conversation? How old is she? When she is with your friends does she need to have everyone doting on her (well that's probably a silly question now, isn't it?)There is no end to you and your wife's hypocrisy. You want to do your apartment and be free and clear of us then you find someone else to do it other then our friends. I think Homer will enjoy hearing what you said to us and how you've kicked your parent's around and treated us like the morning trash. Homer is very loyal so I know this will be a conflict for him if I decide to tell him.You think that paying us off means your not indebted to us too? No, we didn't do anything for you in your life did we? Who gave you the fling flying loan? Who gave you the wedding loan? Who put you through an $80,000 college and paid for all your expenses? Who held a rehearsal dinner at her soon to be daughter in laws request? Who paid over $2,000 dollars for open bar and appetizers when we didn't want an open bar! Who gave you a big check when you got married? Who dropped people form the wedding list to make you happy so you could some bartenders from Rock Bottom? Who didn't get to pick out the invitations to the rehearsal dinner we sponsored because your wife did it on the sly?!!!! What issues were made of that Tony? Wasn't it us once again who gave in to keep the peace? Who gave you a car to use through high school and part of college? Who paid for you to play soccer for how many years AFTER college, with no recognition from you? Who put's nothing but sincere thought into my gift giving for both you and your wife despite our differences, Huh, Ton, who is it? Who invited you guys to go to Hawaii with us at a cost of $6,000? Do you think we did that because we wanted to have nothing to do with your wife?!!! We did it to help us bond more, however we couldn't have dreamed that she would behave the way she did and that the two of you would ignore our wish to spend most of our time together. And yes, you are accountable because YOU heard it first hand from me what we wanted, but you continued to chip away at what I requested because your wife put you up to it or perhaps because you knew Becca was incapable of spending time with us pleasantly. And, if it was you who didn't want to spend time with us then you should have been the way you used to be, honest, and told us so. Perhaps we wouldn't have had you come and we would have saved a ton of money. As far as validated goes, you've got to be kidding? Let's see if I remember right. You initially told me Becca was one day late, you weren't trying for a baby, she had no reason to believe she was pregnant yet she thought she saw something when she got her heavier then usual period. Gee, didn't she just switch pills (or at least you told me she did.) Changing the pill would account for a different flow. IF she thought she was pregnant and miscarried it would have been easy enough to find out with a simple 3 minute home pregnancy kit right then. Since even if you miscarry you still have the elevated levels of hormone in your blood that would indicate you were indeed pregnant. Let's see that means she could have put her worries to rest the 1st day of the trip, and she is validated for her mood for the entire trip to Hawaii? Let me ask you something, how was her mood alone with you? She certainly seemed to be having a good time then!!!!! How could you dismiss her actions with us so easily and then turn them around to blame us? No, we're not understanding because she didn't want to be pregnant, and you guys weren't trying. I could see a day or two max at being down about possibly miscarrying but when there were so many avenues that could have been taken to alleviate her worries there is no excuse! If you don't like to hear this too bad. Why don't you call her ob/gyn and ask the nurse if she would have seen tissue at two weeks pregnant as she claims? What ever she saw was a figment of her imagination, or worse an excuse for her behavior on the trip. But there is no excusing her behavior because there were hospitals, drs., pregnancy tests, nurses in her ob office, or even your idiot mom that she could have contacted or talked to. But see, I would have known it was ruse so she couldn't talk to me. It was all about defending her moods and the sooner you face that the sooner you can manage your wife. Who wouldn't do this in order to ease their mind and have a good time in a place like Hawaii? Do you think you'll ever go there again? You won't be able to afford it, face it. If it weren't for us you would have never gone there, and she was determined to be alone with you because SHE DOESN'T " T LIKE US, not the other way around. Dad buys her a lei and she claims she's allergic to flowers!!! I know you have bought her flowers many times and I've never heard that excuse before. Every time she comes to our house now she says she has allergies to my cats. Is this a recent phenomena? Maybe one that will build the excuse for her not being able to come over here eventually? Wake up! This little blip of a vacation was the dream trip that any other child or person for that matter would have given their left arm for, and yet who ends up trying to make amends but us?!!!! You've got to be kidding right? We're supposed to be understanding of a miscarriage she didn't have and didn't find out until she got home from the trip, coincidentally? Even with all the avenues she had? And why didn't you get her to act sooner to find out it wasn't a pregnancy so that she could enjoy herself? Is it perhaps because she didn't tell you this excuse until she was cornered into why her mood was the way it was the 2nd night before we came home? Isn't it weird that that is when you would find out? You said you noticed her mood so certainly you would have inquired sooner? Certainly you would have said " Bec, my parent's paid ALL this money to bring us with them, we can't ruin the trip because of this, so why don't we go to a dr, hospital, or you at least call home to find out if you should they think you actually miscarried. " Or at least that's what the old Tony would have cared enough to do.We have made nothing but continuous effort to disregard her thoughtless comments since you met her, including her thoughtless display at 's wedding where she humiliated the entire family! Do you think the family has forgotten her little indiscretion? You asked me the day after that embarrassing 'little' display if you should break up with her and do you remember what I said?!!!! I told you that that was your decision to make but that everyone is entitled to make one mistake! That is some selfish, loveless mother you've got, isn't it!!!! There was my chance to say dump her and I didn't do that because I knew it wasn't my place, and how much you loved her. NOW you will never be asked on another trip and dad and I are your best resource for doing so. Where will little Becca's parent's take you Tony, except crazy?I've reached the end of my rope with you and your ingratitude towards us. YOU once showed us love and affection and gratitude, as well as we reciprocated. I don't know where you went, or your wonderful personality. Now all I see is anger. Is it the meds? The therapist? Does Becca go to a therapist? Has she ever gone with you? Shouldn't you both be in therapy if your unhappy since perhaps it's your marriage that is causing it, or has she convinced you it's " you Tony, and your controlling, suffocating parents! " I can't believe you wouldn't insist on her going, and if she refuses go then there is something wrong with her and your marriage. Any other wife would have called your parent's anything they wanted in order to EASE YOUR ANGUISH, but not Becca. Oh, I forgot, we're your peers, you guys are adults now so you should have the same respect as your parents.....NOT!!!! We deserve respect because we are your parents, we brought you into this world, raised you with nothing but love and kindness, and have done nothing but try to get along with your wife. ARE SO BLIND THAT YOU CAN " T SEE THAT IT IS YOUR WIFE WHO HAS CONVINCED YOU OF THE TERRIBLE PEOPLE WE ARE, AND THAT WE HAVE WRONGED YOU & HER!! WE'VE WRONGED YOU SO MUCH THEN YOU MAY AS WELL CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK BECAUSE YOU CERTIANLY AREN'T A MESSINA OR A BALDOCCHI! PLEASE CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK!!!! She's in complete control of you Tony, you don't speak for yourself anymore. I'm sorry if it hurts to hear it, but your pussy whipped. Oh, what, are you going to call the police tony? Are you going to tell them that I'm threatening you? Maybe you could lie to them like you lied to someone else that I said F'ing Bitch, and not just Bitch? Perhaps your confused...you said F'ing bitch to your mother, the person who gave birth to you, who devoted her entire life to you without needing a career since my boys were my life.I can't wait to hear how she twists this little tidbit around in your brain. She's like those psychiatrists in the 1980's who destroyed umpteen families by telling their young patients that they had repressed memories, that under hypnosis the young man or woman would tell them that they were sexually abused by their parents. It all came out years later that it was one big scam, but how many families did it destroy in the process? Is that how easy we are to write off Tony? Is that how we've raised you, to be me, me, me, my, my, my, just like a little namby pamby teen age girl would cry. Did you know that's what you sound like? You want to be treated like an adult, then ACT LIKE ONE!! Grow up, and face the music Tony, you have a controlling wife. Both dad and I knew that after our get together she would twist what happened to being 'oh woe is me, your parent's wrong me again. " " Tony, what are you going to do about it. I'm your wife, you must defend me against you awful, deceiving, lying, trash bags of parent! " Why do you think she won't change her email name to Messina? ARE YOU THAT NAIVE? Any woman who get's married is so excited to change their name over in every area to the married name, but not Becca because it's too much trouble? You just don't get how some woman manipulate but it's time you find out before you lose your f'ing lose your mind. Trying to make us the scapegoat for your marital woes won't work anymore since we don't want you in our life they way your mind is currently working. We don't know or recognize you anymore as our son Tony, the loving, generous, honest boy we raised. The boy that grandpa doted over. How ashamed would grandpa be now if he could see you tony??!!!!! Do you think he'd have a smidgen of respect left in his body for you? If he can see down from heaven (if there is one,) what do you think he feels? What does Poppy feel? These are peope you used to want to emulate. The shame tony and humiliation you must feel for treating the person who once was your best friend the way you did the other night, and then not owning up to it! You sure showed me didn't you ton? Macho, macho man....I just want to be.. a macho man!!!Get off your entitlement high horse and realize that your not entitled to anything, that one has to earn it in life and you have fallen far short of that in the last 3.5 years! It has been a downward spiral for you tony and I guess you won't get it until you hit rock bottom and no kid born to you will change the marriage you have. No one as selfish as you and becca are should be having children and if you do it is purely narcissism on your part. " Oh look, the baby is just like me...beautfiul, now all my friends will envy me for what a beautifuil baby I created " . Oh, and another laugh is that you guys take the high road? Just what high road is that Ton? You weren't able to start fresh realizing that it would take time to re-establish our relationship with both you and your wife, instead you let her talk you into writing a letter about how we've wronged you, and then just slipping into the letter a little blurb about the Saturday get together so that we wouldn't think that the letter you were insisting on reading from was all about Saturday, when in reality we ALL know it was, or at least three of us.What type of therapist do you have that gives you the type of advice your getting? Or is all your advice coming from becca? Perhaps your not being honest with the therapist, twisting things so that the therapist does think it's our fault. I know when I've gone I want to tell it exactly like it is so I know if I'm wrong or not. I want to know so that I can right any wrongs I've done. But, then again if your mind is as twisted as it appears now you may believe that you are telling the truth when in reality it's becca's truth.Believe it or not I still love you, and I always will. But I can't accept your current behavior, rationale, moods, anger, blame, whining.When your ready to act like an adult, own up to your wrongs, then call us. We'll always be here for you, but we are done fawning over your wife trying to make her like us. We are done feeling guilty for crimes we didn't commit. There was time tony that I respected you enough to have you give me advice that would end the life of my father. What happened to that tony? I know he must still be in there, and is dying to get out, so why don't you? The only decision problems you've ever had are over minute things like where to eat? When it came to tough decisions you were competent, and IF anyone has convinced you otherwise then that is sad. You think I would have had you help me make such a decision with grandpa if I thought you weren't level headed, rational, mature, loving, and wise?Bye Tony. I hope it does't take long for you to break out of your cocoon your trapped in and let the real tony who everyone loved emerge. Just think also who you have alienated in the past 3.5 years. Tyler, Danny, me, dad and now your grandmother is getting worried. If you think we don't rely on family to help us through this crisis with our son then you are sadly mistaken. We may not tell them every detail but we lean on them for advice, something you could certainly use to do!!!!!!!!! Why not listen to the sage wisdom of your grandmother? Why not call an aunt you can trust? Why is it just your peers you listen to? Could it be that its because you'll get the answer that will support your cause? Think about it. I won't be condemned from using family as it was meant to be. If your embarassed by it, then you better think about your actions that would cause such embarassment.Love,Mom _________________________________________________________________ i’m is proud to present Cause Effect, a series about real people making a difference. http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/MTV/?source=text_Cause_Effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also sorry to say this, but welcome to the club, fellow KO (kid-of). It all sounds really weird -- the 'me,me,me,my,my,my' stuff, the 'ARE YOU THAT NAIVE', the 'we don't want you in our life' -- and the women changing their email name part is just flat-out unreal. Women commonly use all kinds of variations on emails -- just look at the posters on this group. Has she raged at you (cyclically?) like this all your life? Has there been any kind of recent changes to her meds, or anything else? Thanks for writing and please hang out here for awhile. Good luck to you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 This opinion is really short, especially compared to the e- mail " screamer " your mother sent: IGNORE IT. She can write whomever she wants and say anything she wants -- you are not obligated to do a thing about it. The vitriol (and the length! my goodness! What an ego!) will be in stark contrast to the absolute silence coming from you. She means to get you to react -- to interact -- to feel bad, etc., etc...... Give her NONE of that. Give her silence. If you're in her presence -- keep your look and countenance as blank and detached as possible. If you try to argue with a BPD point by point, you'll get mired in argumentative quicksand. They'll never hear your side because they don't want to -- so, you are free to ignore the rantings. You have every right to interact with whoever you want -- they don't have to be involved just because they introduced you to someone. Whatever deal you struck with your parents' friend was your business. Not theirs. Ignore it. She sounds mentally ill. I don't blame you for detaching from her. Go out and live your life and don't worry about apologizing or explaining yourself to people who are just out for themselves. Unfortunately, on this board, our parents are included in that group. Doing absolutely nothing will ensure SHE looks like the crazy one. If you jump in and argue with her, you'll look as bad as her. And forgive yourself and your wife any mistakes you've made. You're as human as the rest of us on this earth. You are still allowed to assess what you're dealing with (in people) and if it enriches or detracts from your quality of life. You're allowed to detach from those things that you deem unhealthy for you and your wife. After reading that voluminous tirade, I see your point! I love how she signed it " Love, Mom " ! She's trying to play you -- don't take the bait. Can you name ANY other situation in your life, public or private, where you'd put up with someone yelling at you like that? (More than once, anyway?) She's definitely emotional dynamite -- I'd quit the arguing with them and just start politely detaching. Refuse to get into any discussion -- politely deflect attempts, either by silence or oblique, non-engaging answers. Always polite -- detached and never engaging. -Kyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Holy Cow I couldn't even read it all. She's nuts. What's your dad say? If you were to talk to him w/o her around what's he say? Does he feel the same way? Had he seen the email before it went to you? Really I would ignore her and talk to your dad alone. That's what I finally did. I figured he'd just defend my nada, but after my sister also called my dad to basically back me up and tell my dad about stuff that nada had done to my sister, he finally understood and started backing me up. I don't even know if I could have any relationship w/her after all that. > > My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we > do helps things.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 My mother has consistently been jealous and angry about any person or situation that comes before her in my life. Never mind that I'm married, have had a career, ministry, and other things going on. It is all about her and her situation, it would seem. Jealousy is huge in her situation, and quite possibly in your mother's as well. Sounds almost like she is expressing anger at their not being first in your life. Hey, you're married. They aren't supposed to be numero uno. Kyla's advice sounds pretty wise. > > My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we > do helps things.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 “Why not tell Homer about what you think of your mom and dad?” Holy cow, that’d be good! Tickets, anyone? I agree with most everyone else, she’s nuts. Makes me glad I’m NC with my little treasure. _____ From: WTOAdultChildren1 [mailto:WTOAdultChildren1 ] On Behalf Of tmess9 Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2007 6:26 AM To: WTOAdultChildren1 Subject: Please Help me by giving your opinion of an Email recieved from my mom. My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we do helps things. I question whether my mom has a BPD, or some other mental illness. I ackknowledge I have probably made mistakes, as has my wife, but i am just wondering what people's opinion is on the email i recieved after a fight i had with her. I am at a loss and any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry this email is really long.... You have some nerve using YOUR parent's friend to still do your job on your apartment! What a hypocrite you are. If you truly wanted to distance yourself from us and be your own man, you certainly wouldn't be calling our friends to help you out. Sure, get your discount rate but ignore your parent's who were the one's who enabled you to get it!!. It'd be like us calling one of your friends to do us a favor now, how would that feel Tony? I'm sure you wouldn't be at all pleased with that scenario and that you'd actually be angry that your friend even obliged you. However, our friend Homer is too nice of a guy not to work something out for you simply because YOU ARE OUR CHILD!!!! Why not tell Homer about what you think of your mom and dad? Why not tell Homer how you wouldn't let us in the apartment, how you threatened to call the police on your mom and then called your mother a f'ing bitch! Why not tell him that it's been 5 days since and you still have no remorse? Hypocrite of the year award is granted Tony. YOUR selfish parent's do and have done nothing for you in all area's of your life but your still continue using us to your advantage now don't you? What have your wife's parent's friends done for you? Or for that matter what has you wife done for you except leave you in anguish because she can't be satisfied. What a cop out your phony complaint list was, and I knew the minute you got to the part about how we didn't " include Becca in our conversation " -, what it was all really about! What is she a 3rd grade mentality now, and we have to spoon feed her to take part in a general conversation? How old is she? When she is with your friends does she need to have everyone doting on her (well that's probably a silly question now, isn't it?) There is no end to you and your wife's hypocrisy. You want to do your apartment and be free and clear of us then you find someone else to do it other then our friends. I think Homer will enjoy hearing what you said to us and how you've kicked your parent's around and treated us like the morning trash. Homer is very loyal so I know this will be a conflict for him if I decide to tell him. You think that paying us off means your not indebted to us too? No, we didn't do anything for you in your life did we? Who gave you the fling flying loan? Who gave you the wedding loan? Who put you through an $80,000 college and paid for all your expenses? Who held a rehearsal dinner at her soon to be daughter in laws request? Who paid over $2,000 dollars for open bar and appetizers when we didn't want an open bar! Who gave you a big check when you got married? Who dropped people form the wedding list to make you happy so you could some bartenders from Rock Bottom? Who didn't get to pick out the invitations to the rehearsal dinner we sponsored because your wife did it on the sly?!!!! What issues were made of that Tony? Wasn't it us once again who gave in to keep the peace? Who gave you a car to use through high school and part of college? Who paid for you to play soccer for how many years AFTER college, with no recognition from you? Who put's nothing but sincere thought into my gift giving for both you and your wife despite our differences, Huh, Ton, who is it? Who invited you guys to go to Hawaii with us at a cost of $6,000? Do you think we did that because we wanted to have nothing to do with your wife?!!! We did it to help us bond more, however we couldn't have dreamed that she would behave the way she did and that the two of you would ignore our wish to spend most of our time together. And yes, you are accountable because YOU heard it first hand from me what we wanted, but you continued to chip away at what I requested because your wife put you up to it or perhaps because you knew Becca was incapable of spending time with us pleasantly. And, if it was you who didn't want to spend time with us then you should have been the way you used to be, honest, and told us so. Perhaps we wouldn't have had you come and we would have saved a ton of money. As far as validated goes, you've got to be kidding? Let's see if I remember right. You initially told me Becca was one day late, you weren't trying for a baby, she had no reason to believe she was pregnant yet she thought she saw something when she got her heavier then usual period. Gee, didn't she just switch pills (or at least you told me she did.) Changing the pill would account for a different flow. IF she thought she was pregnant and miscarried it would have been easy enough to find out with a simple 3 minute home pregnancy kit right then. Since even if you miscarry you still have the elevated levels of hormone in your blood that would indicate you were indeed pregnant. Let's see that means she could have put her worries to rest the 1st day of the trip, and she is validated for her mood for the entire trip to Hawaii? Let me ask you something, how was her mood alone with you? She certainly seemed to be having a good time then!!!!! How could you dismiss her actions with us so easily and then turn them around to blame us? No, we're not understanding because she didn't want to be pregnant, and you guys weren't trying. I could see a day or two max at being down about possibly miscarrying but when there were so many avenues that could have been taken to alleviate her worries there is no excuse! If you don't like to hear this too bad. Why don't you call her ob/gyn and ask the nurse if she would have seen tissue at two weeks pregnant as she claims? What ever she saw was a figment of her imagination, or worse an excuse for her behavior on the trip. But there is no excusing her behavior because there were hospitals, drs., pregnancy tests, nurses in her ob office, or even your idiot mom that she could have contacted or talked to. But see, I would have known it was ruse so she couldn't talk to me. It was all about defending her moods and the sooner you face that the sooner you can manage your wife. Who wouldn't do this in order to ease their mind and have a good time in a place like Hawaii? Do you think you'll ever go there again? You won't be able to afford it, face it. If it weren't for us you would have never gone there, and she was determined to be alone with you because SHE DOESN'T " T LIKE US, not the other way around. Dad buys her a lei and she claims she's allergic to flowers!!! I know you have bought her flowers many times and I've never heard that excuse before. Every time she comes to our house now she says she has allergies to my cats. Is this a recent phenomena? Maybe one that will build the excuse for her not being able to come over here eventually? Wake up! This little blip of a vacation was the dream trip that any other child or person for that matter would have given their left arm for, and yet who ends up trying to make amends but us?!!!! You've got to be kidding right? We're supposed to be understanding of a miscarriage she didn't have and didn't find out until she got home from the trip, coincidentally? Even with all the avenues she had? And why didn't you get her to act sooner to find out it wasn't a pregnancy so that she could enjoy herself? Is it perhaps because she didn't tell you this excuse until she was cornered into why her mood was the way it was the 2nd night before we came home? Isn't it weird that that is when you would find out? You said you noticed her mood so certainly you would have inquired sooner? Certainly you would have said " Bec, my parent's paid ALL this money to bring us with them, we can't ruin the trip because of this, so why don't we go to a dr, hospital, or you at least call home to find out if you should they think you actually miscarried. " Or at least that's what the old Tony would have cared enough to do. We have made nothing but continuous effort to disregard her thoughtless comments since you met her, including her thoughtless display at 's wedding where she humiliated the entire family! Do you think the family has forgotten her little indiscretion? You asked me the day after that embarrassing 'little' display if you should break up with her and do you remember what I said?!!!! I told you that that was your decision to make but that everyone is entitled to make one mistake! That is some selfish, loveless mother you've got, isn't it!!!! There was my chance to say dump her and I didn't do that because I knew it wasn't my place, and how much you loved her. NOW you will never be asked on another trip and dad and I are your best resource for doing so. Where will little Becca's parent's take you Tony, except crazy? I've reached the end of my rope with you and your ingratitude towards us. YOU once showed us love and affection and gratitude, as well as we reciprocated. I don't know where you went, or your wonderful personality. Now all I see is anger. Is it the meds? The therapist? Does Becca go to a therapist? Has she ever gone with you? Shouldn't you both be in therapy if your unhappy since perhaps it's your marriage that is causing it, or has she convinced you it's " you Tony, and your controlling, suffocating parents! " I can't believe you wouldn't insist on her going, and if she refuses go then there is something wrong with her and your marriage. Any other wife would have called your parent's anything they wanted in order to EASE YOUR ANGUISH, but not Becca. Oh, I forgot, we're your peers, you guys are adults now so you should have the same respect as your parents.....-NOT!!!! We deserve respect because we are your parents, we brought you into this world, raised you with nothing but love and kindness, and have done nothing but try to get along with your wife. ARE SO BLIND THAT YOU CAN " T SEE THAT IT IS YOUR WIFE WHO HAS CONVINCED YOU OF THE TERRIBLE PEOPLE WE ARE, AND THAT WE HAVE WRONGED YOU & HER!! WE'VE WRONGED YOU SO MUCH THEN YOU MAY AS WELL CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK BECAUSE YOU CERTIANLY AREN'T A MESSINA OR A BALDOCCHI! PLEASE CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK!!!! She's in complete control of you Tony, you don't speak for yourself anymore. I'm sorry if it hurts to hear it, but your pussy whipped. Oh, what, are you going to call the police tony? Are you going to tell them that I'm threatening you? Maybe you could lie to them like you lied to someone else that I said F'ing Bitch, and not just Bitch? Perhaps your confused...you said F'ing bitch to your mother, the person who gave birth to you, who devoted her entire life to you without needing a career since my boys were my life. I can't wait to hear how she twists this little tidbit around in your brain. She's like those psychiatrists in the 1980's who destroyed umpteen families by telling their young patients that they had repressed memories, that under hypnosis the young man or woman would tell them that they were sexually abused by their parents. It all came out years later that it was one big scam, but how many families did it destroy in the process? Is that how easy we are to write off Tony? Is that how we've raised you, to be me, me, me, my, my, my, just like a little namby pamby teen age girl would cry. Did you know that's what you sound like? You want to be treated like an adult, then ACT LIKE ONE!! Grow up, and face the music Tony, you have a controlling wife. Both dad and I knew that after our get together she would twist what happened to being 'oh woe is me, your parent's wrong me again. " " Tony, what are you going to do about it. I'm your wife, you must defend me against you awful, deceiving, lying, trash bags of parent! " Why do you think she won't change her email name to Messina? ARE YOU THAT NAIVE? Any woman who get's married is so excited to change their name over in every area to the married name, but not Becca because it's too much trouble? You just don't get how some woman manipulate but it's time you find out before you lose your f'ing lose your mind. Trying to make us the scapegoat for your marital woes won't work anymore since we don't want you in our life they way your mind is currently working. We don't know or recognize you anymore as our son Tony, the loving, generous, honest boy we raised. The boy that grandpa doted over. How ashamed would grandpa be now if he could see you tony??!!!!! Do you think he'd have a smidgen of respect left in his body for you? If he can see down from heaven (if there is one,) what do you think he feels? What does Poppy feel? These are peope you used to want to emulate. The shame tony and humiliation you must feel for treating the person who once was your best friend the way you did the other night, and then not owning up to it! You sure showed me didn't you ton? Macho, macho man....I just want to be.. a macho man!!! Get off your entitlement high horse and realize that your not entitled to anything, that one has to earn it in life and you have fallen far short of that in the last 3.5 years! It has been a downward spiral for you tony and I guess you won't get it until you hit rock bottom and no kid born to you will change the marriage you have. No one as selfish as you and becca are should be having children and if you do it is purely narcissism on your part. " Oh look, the baby is just like me...beautfiul, now all my friends will envy me for what a beautifuil baby I created " . Oh, and another laugh is that you guys take the high road? Just what high road is that Ton? You weren't able to start fresh realizing that it would take time to re-establish our relationship with both you and your wife, instead you let her talk you into writing a letter about how we've wronged you, and then just slipping into the letter a little blurb about the Saturday get together so that we wouldn't think that the letter you were insisting on reading from was all about Saturday, when in reality we ALL know it was, or at least three of us. What type of therapist do you have that gives you the type of advice your getting? Or is all your advice coming from becca? Perhaps your not being honest with the therapist, twisting things so that the therapist does think it's our fault. I know when I've gone I want to tell it exactly like it is so I know if I'm wrong or not. I want to know so that I can right any wrongs I've done. But, then again if your mind is as twisted as it appears now you may believe that you are telling the truth when in reality it's becca's truth. Believe it or not I still love you, and I always will. But I can't accept your current behavior, rationale, moods, anger, blame, whining. When your ready to act like an adult, own up to your wrongs, then call us. We'll always be here for you, but we are done fawning over your wife trying to make her like us. We are done feeling guilty for crimes we didn't commit. There was time tony that I respected you enough to have you give me advice that would end the life of my father. What happened to that tony? I know he must still be in there, and is dying to get out, so why don't you? The only decision problems you've ever had are over minute things like where to eat? When it came to tough decisions you were competent, and IF anyone has convinced you otherwise then that is sad. You think I would have had you help me make such a decision with grandpa if I thought you weren't level headed, rational, mature, loving, and wise? Bye Tony. I hope it does't take long for you to break out of your cocoon your trapped in and let the real tony who everyone loved emerge. Just think also who you have alienated in the past 3.5 years. Tyler, Danny, me, dad and now your grandmother is getting worried. If you think we don't rely on family to help us through this crisis with our son then you are sadly mistaken. We may not tell them every detail but we lean on them for advice, something you could certainly use to do!!!!!!!!! Why not listen to the sage wisdom of your grandmother? Why not call an aunt you can trust? Why is it just your peers you listen to? Could it be that its because you'll get the answer that will support your cause? Think about it. I won't be condemned from using family as it was meant to be. If your embarassed by it, then you better think about your actions that would cause such embarassment.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Wow Tony, Your mom is a psycho..... Not knowing you or your wife personally......and even if your wife was half as horrible as your mother spewed in this nasty email.....that doesn't give her a right to talk to you, about her, this way, she is your wife!!! This just makes me so sad. I am a mother to 3 boys, and I would hope I never feel so compelled to write such venom. Your mother is just plain wrong, and I see a million reasons, in that one email, to tell you to RUN, TONY, RUN!!! I can't believe she would dare talk about respect....when she is the one being so disrespectful.........and use the money that she spent on you, the vacations, etc.....as a weapon to hurt you. I will never have that kind of money to spend on my childrens education,cars, vacations etc......and if I did, I certainly wouldn't bring it up in an argument, and beat them over the head with it. I have had a miscarriage as well, at 20 weeks.....they figured the baby died at 18......I have to admit, I was a raging b-tch a week before I started to show signs of a loss....not knowing that my baby had died, I was out of my head, scared my poor husband. Those rages were from a total hormonal upheaval. I had never acted that way before or since. I feel your pain....and it is sure shitty of her to bring that up. I was very close to my grandpa's.......was even there while one died at home with Hospice. This is crushing to hear her bring that point up as well. The future grand babies....she is down right nasty what she says about this......who thinks this shit up??? " look at my baby isn't it so cute " , blah,blah,blah......a real, loving grandma, would love a baby....wether it came from you, the stork, or china.....that is if she truly loved you, unconditionally, like real moms do. KEEP HER AWAY FROM ANY FUTURE CHILDREN.....she is likely to harm them because they will be half of your wife's. Therapists.........she needs a whole team of them, in a padded room, with a white suit that ties in the back!!! And finally......for her to bring up your family....and to use them to make you feel worse......is just like a good old fashioned BULLY!!! And what is soooooo wrong with calling a family friend for some help on your house??? Doesn't sound like a crime to me??? She sounds like an ugly, ugly, woman!!! Take the good advise Kyla gave you, and just ignore this email......and take the advice that I gave to a certain KO (she knows who she is;0) print this sucker off, and frame it!!! Laminate it, and make place matts for your table, for 8, 10, or even 12 people. Hell.......make and extra copy to burn, just for fun....but be sure to keep one as a reminder, collect her crazy, it helps to pull it out when you are feeling like being sucked back in. Sorry I kind of went " off " .....stirred up something in me......and sorry this is your mother....mine sucks too!!! Keep posting, we are all here for you.... drlingirl > > My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we > do helps things. I question whether my mom has a BPD, or some other > mental illness. I ackknowledge I have probably made mistakes, as has > my wife, but i am just wondering what people's opinion is on the > email i recieved after a fight i had with her. I am at a loss and > any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry this email > is really long.... > > > > You have some nerve using YOUR parent's friend to still do your job > on your apartment! What a hypocrite you are. If you truly wanted to > distance yourself from us and be your own man, you certainly wouldn't > be calling our friends to help you out. Sure, get your discount rate > but ignore your parent's who were the one's who enabled you to get > it!!. It'd be like us calling one of your friends to do us a favor > now, how would that feel Tony? I'm sure you wouldn't be at all > pleased with that scenario and that you'd actually be angry that your > friend even obliged you. However, our friend Homer is too nice of a > guy not to work something out for you simply because YOU ARE OUR > CHILD!!!! > > Why not tell Homer about what you think of your mom and dad? Why not > tell Homer how you wouldn't let us in the apartment, how you > threatened to call the police on your mom and then called your mother > a f'ing bitch! Why not tell him that it's been 5 days since and you > still have no remorse? > > Hypocrite of the year award is granted Tony. YOUR selfish parent's do > and have done nothing for you in all area's of your life but your > still continue using us to your advantage now don't you? > > What have your wife's parent's friends done for you?

What is she a 3rd grade > mentality now, and we have to spoon feed her to take part in a > general conversation? How old is she? When she is with your friends > does she need to have everyone doting on her (well that's probably a > silly question now, isn't it?) > > There is no end to you and your wife's hypocrisy. You want to do your > apartment and be free and clear of us then you find someone else to > do it other then our friends. I think Homer will enjoy hearing what > you said to us and how you've kicked your parent's around and treated > us like the morning trash. Homer is very loyal so I know this will be > a conflict for him if I decide to tell him. > > You think that paying us off means your not indebted to us too? No, > we didn't do anything for you in your life did we? Who gave you the > fling flying loan? Who gave you the wedding loan? Who put you through > an $80,000 college and paid for all your expenses? Who held a > rehearsal dinner at her soon to be daughter in laws request? Who paid > over $2,000 dollars for open bar and appetizers when we didn't want > an open bar! Who gave you a big check when you got married? Who > dropped people form the wedding list to make you happy so you could > some bartenders from Rock Bottom?

Who put's nothing but sincere thought > into my gift giving for both you and your wife despite our > differences, Huh, Ton, who is it? Who invited you guys to go to > Hawaii with us at a cost of $6,000? Do you think we did that because > we wanted to have nothing to do with your wife?!!! We did it to help > us bond more, however we couldn't have dreamed that she would behave > the way she did and that the two of you would ignore our wish to > spend most of our time together. And yes, you are accountable because > YOU heard it first hand from me what we wanted, but you continued to > chip away at what I requested because your wife put you up to it or > perhaps because you knew Becca was incapable of spending time with us > pleasantly. And, if it was you who didn't want to spend time with us > then you should have been the way you used to be, honest, and told us > so. Perhaps we wouldn't have had you come and we would have saved a > ton of money. As far as validated goes, you've got to be kidding? > Let's see if I remember right. You initially told me Becca was one > day late, you weren't trying for a baby, she had no reason to believe > she was pregnant yet she thought she saw something when she got her > heavier then usual period. Gee, didn't she just switch pills (or at > least you told me she did.) Changing the pill would account for a > different flow.

Let's see that means she could have put her > worries to rest the 1st day of the trip, and she is validated for her > mood for the entire trip to Hawaii? Let me ask you something, how was > her mood alone with you? She certainly seemed to be having a good > time then!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey Tony, How nice. She sounds just like my NADA. Perhaps they should exchange phone numbers and be friends. they can whine and be miserable together. My mom loves company when she is miserable. Your NADA really does say a lot of the same stuff mine does. My NADA always likes to send it in an email too. NADA always likes to tell me that my fiancee has me brainwashed. That I do everything because he tells me to, including feeling the way i do about her. NADA's don't like significant others, they are a threat to their relationship with you. its like their worst enemy. And how disgustingly insenstive can she be about the possibility of a miscarriage? No one knows their own body better than a woman. if she felt something wasn't right then something must not have been right. And to try to let it go just for the sake of the freaking trip? What is more important than your wife's health? Some stupid allergic flowers on a lei? I have receieved SEVERAL emails just like the one you got. MY best advice is DONT respond to it. dont give her the satisfaction. she wants the confrontation with you. she wants you to come pleading back, saying how sorry you are and what a bad son you are. you are married. your wife, becca should be your main focus. try to find happiness in each other. your crazy mom isn't worth your lifetime of happiness. I'm so sick of playing games with my NADA. i think we all are. don't give her the time of day. just let it all go. you have your own life, your own family now.dont let her devaluate you anymore. I liked when she typed out the lyrics to " Macho Man " . what a weirdo. For Christmas you should send her a copy of the " best of the village people " . hang in there. > > My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we > do helps things. I question whether my mom has a BPD, or some other > mental illness. I ackknowledge I have probably made mistakes, as has > my wife, but i am just wondering what people's opinion is on the > email i recieved after a fight i had with her. I am at a loss and > any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry this email > is really long.... > > > > You have some nerve using YOUR parent's friend to still do your job > on your apartment! What a hypocrite you are. If you truly wanted to > distance yourself from us and be your own man, you certainly wouldn't > be calling our friends to help you out.

I'm sure you wouldn't be at all > pleased with that scenario and that you'd actually be angry that your > friend even obliged you.

Why not > tell Homer how you wouldn't let us in the apartment, how you > threatened to call the police on your mom and then called your mother > a f'ing bitch!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Tony -- I don't know how much you know about BPD, but the harping on your wife is textbook behavior -- they are extremely threatened (abandonment fears) when you go out into the world and form another household with a spouse. Not only that, but if you dare get close to HER family??? Perish the thought!!! Just wanted to tell you that it's part of the whole BPD picture, and most of us have seen it. The BPD gets CRAZY when you " leave " them and dare to make a life with someone else. It trips a MAJOR wire. -Kyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Tony, My ears were bleeding reading this e-mail. YIKES. BTW if you had to call the police on your own mother then I am going to make an assumption and say that maybe it is because she is nuttier than a fruit cake. If you ever have to do it again let me give you three magic words to say to the dispatcher. My mother is an EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED PERSON. Also known in law enforcement as an EDP. They have officers trained to handle people like that. I am sure this is far from the first time you have received these kind of blistering communications and I feel for you. You have come to the right place. best of luck, Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Wow Tony, Your mom is a psycho..... Not knowing you or your wife personally......and even if your wife was half as horrible as your mother spewed in this nasty email.....that doesn't give her a right to talk to you, about her, this way, she is your wife!!! This just makes me so sad. I am a mother to 3 boys, and I would hope I never feel so compelled to write such venom. Your mother is just plain wrong, and I see a million reasons, in that one email, to tell you to RUN, TONY, RUN!!! I can't believe she would dare talk about respect....when she is the one being so disrespectful.........and use the money that she spent on you, the vacations, etc.....as a weapon to hurt you. I will never have that kind of money to spend on my childrens education,cars, vacations etc......and if I did, I certainly wouldn't bring it up in an argument, and beat them over the head with it. I have had a miscarriage as well, at 20 weeks.....they figured the baby died at 18......I have to admit, I was a raging b-tch a week before I started to show signs of a loss....not knowing that my baby had died, I was out of my head, scared my poor husband. Those rages were from a total hormonal upheaval. I had never acted that way before or since. I feel your pain....and it is sure shitty of her to bring that up. I was very close to my grandpa's.......was even there while one died at home with Hospice. This is crushing to hear her bring that point up as well. The future grand babies....she is down right nasty what she says about this......who thinks this shit up??? " look at my baby isn't it so cute " , blah,blah,blah......a real, loving grandma, would love a baby....wether it came from you, the stork, or china.....that is if she truly loved you, unconditionally, like real moms do. KEEP HER AWAY FROM ANY FUTURE CHILDREN.....she is likely to harm them because they will be half of your wife's. Therapists.........she needs a whole team of them, in a padded room, with a white suit that ties in the back!!! And finally......for her to bring up your family....and to use them to make you feel worse......is just like a good old fashioned BULLY!!! And what is soooooo wrong with calling a family friend for some help on your house??? Doesn't sound like a crime to me??? She sounds like an ugly, ugly, woman!!! Take the good advise Kyla gave you, and just ignore this email......and take the advice that I gave to a certain KO (she knows who she is;0) print this sucker off, and frame it!!! Laminate it, and make place matts for your table, for 8, 10, or even 12 people. Hell.......make and extra copy to burn, just for fun....but be sure to keep one as a reminder, collect her crazy, it helps to pull it out when you are feeling like being sucked back in. Sorry I kind of went " off " .....stirred up something in me......and sorry this is your mother....mine sucks too!!! Keep posting, we are all here for you.... drlingirl > > My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we > do helps things.

Charlie > > To: WTOAdultChildren1@...: tmess9@...: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:56:11 +0000Subject: Please Help me by giving your opinion of an Email recieved from my mom. > > > > > My parents and I have been arguing since summer now, and nothing we do helps things. I question whether my mom has a BPD, or some other mental illness. I ackknowledge I have probably made mistakes, as has my wife, but i am just wondering what people's opinion is on the email i recieved after a fight i had with her. I am at a loss and any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry this email is really long....You have some nerve using YOUR parent's friend to still do your job on your apartment! What a hypocrite you are. If you truly wanted to distance yourself from us and be your own man, you certainly wouldn't be calling our friends to help you out. Sure, get your discount rate but ignore your parent's who were the one's who enabled you to get it!!. It'd be like us calling one of your friends to do us a favor now, how would that feel Tony? I'm sure you wouldn't be at all pleased with that scenario and that you'd actually be angry that your friend even obliged you. However, our friend Homer is too nice of a guy not to work something out for you simply because YOU ARE OUR CHILD!!!! Why not tell Homer about what you think of your mom and dad? Why not tell Homer how you wouldn't let us in the apartment, how you threatened to call the police on your mom and then called your mother a f'ing bitch! Why not tell him that it's been 5 days since and you still have no remorse?Hypocrite of the year award is granted Tony. YOUR selfish parent's do and have done nothing for you in all area's of your life but your still continue using us to your advantage now don't you?What have your wife's parent's friends done for you? Or for that matter what has you wife done for you except leave you in anguish because she can't be satisfied. What a cop out your phony complaint list was, and I knew the minute you got to the part about how we didn't " include Becca in our conversation " , what it was all really about! What is she a 3rd grade mentality now, and we have to spoon feed her to take part in a general conversation? How old is she? When she is with your friends does she need to have everyone doting on her (well that's probably a silly question now, isn't it?)There is no end to you and your wife's hypocrisy. You want to do your apartment and be free and clear of us then you find someone else to do it other then our friends. I think Homer will enjoy hearing what you said to us and how you've kicked your parent's around and treated us like the morning trash. Homer is very loyal so I know this will be a conflict for him if I decide to tell him.You think that paying us off means your not indebted to us too? No, we didn't do anything for you in your life did we? Who gave you the fling flying loan? Who gave you the wedding loan? Who put you through an $80,000 college and paid for all your expenses? Who held a rehearsal dinner at her soon to be daughter in laws request? Who paid over $2,000 dollars for open bar and appetizers when we didn't want an open bar! Who gave you a big check when you got married? Who dropped people form the wedding list to make you happy so you could some bartenders from Rock Bottom? Who didn't get to pick out the invitations to the rehearsal dinner we sponsored because your wife did it on the sly?!!!! What issues were made of that Tony? Wasn't it us once again who gave in to keep the peace? Who gave you a car to use through high school and part of college? Who paid for you to play soccer for how many years AFTER college, with no recognition from you? Who put's nothing but sincere thought into my gift giving for both you and your wife despite our differences, Huh, Ton, who is it? Who invited you guys to go to Hawaii with us at a cost of $6,000? Do you think we did that because we wanted to have nothing to do with your wife?!!! We did it to help us bond more, however we couldn't have dreamed that she would behave the way she did and that the two of you would ignore our wish to spend most of our time together. And yes, you are accountable because YOU heard it first hand from me what we wanted, but you continued to chip away at what I requested because your wife put you up to it or perhaps because you knew Becca was incapable of spending time with us pleasantly. And, if it was you who didn't want to spend time with us then you should have been the way you used to be, honest, and told us so. Perhaps we wouldn't have had you come and we would have saved a ton of money. As far as validated goes, you've got to be kidding? Let's see if I remember right. You initially told me Becca was one day late, you weren't trying for a baby, she had no reason to believe she was pregnant yet she thought she saw something when she got her heavier then usual period. Gee, didn't she just switch pills (or at least you told me she did.) Changing the pill would account for a different flow. IF she thought she was pregnant and miscarried it would have been easy enough to find out with a simple 3 minute home pregnancy kit right then. Since even if you miscarry you still have the elevated levels of hormone in your blood that would indicate you were indeed pregnant. Let's see that means she could have put her worries to rest the 1st day of the trip, and she is validated for her mood for the entire trip to Hawaii? Let me ask you something, how was her mood alone with you? She certainly seemed to be having a good time then!!!!! How could you dismiss her actions with us so easily and then turn them around to blame us? No, we're not understanding because she didn't want to be pregnant, and you guys weren't trying. I could see a day or two max at being down about possibly miscarrying but when there were so many avenues that could have been taken to alleviate her worries there is no excuse! If you don't like to hear this too bad. Why don't you call her ob/gyn and ask the nurse if she would have seen tissue at two weeks pregnant as she claims? What ever she saw was a figment of her imagination, or worse an excuse for her behavior on the trip. But there is no excusing her behavior because there were hospitals, drs., pregnancy tests, nurses in her ob office, or even your idiot mom that she could have contacted or talked to. But see, I would have known it was ruse so she couldn't talk to me. It was all about defending her moods and the sooner you face that the sooner you can manage your wife. Who wouldn't do this in order to ease their mind and have a good time in a place like Hawaii? Do you think you'll ever go there again? You won't be able to afford it, face it. If it weren't for us you would have never gone there, and she was determined to be alone with you because SHE DOESN'T " T LIKE US, not the other way around. Dad buys her a lei and she claims she's allergic to flowers!!! I know you have bought her flowers many times and I've never heard that excuse before. Every time she comes to our house now she says she has allergies to my cats. Is this a recent phenomena? Maybe one that will build the excuse for her not being able to come over here eventually? Wake up! This little blip of a vacation was the dream trip that any other child or person for that matter would have given their left arm for, and yet who ends up trying to make amends but us?!!!! You've got to be kidding right? We're supposed to be understanding of a miscarriage she didn't have and didn't find out until she got home from the trip, coincidentally? Even with all the avenues she had? And why didn't you get her to act sooner to find out it wasn't a pregnancy so that she could enjoy herself? Is it perhaps because she didn't tell you this excuse until she was cornered into why her mood was the way it was the 2nd night before we came home? Isn't it weird that that is when you would find out? You said you noticed her mood so certainly you would have inquired sooner? Certainly you would have said " Bec, my parent's paid ALL this money to bring us with them, we can't ruin the trip because of this, so why don't we go to a dr, hospital, or you at least call home to find out if you should they think you actually miscarried. " Or at least that's what the old Tony would have cared enough to do.We have made nothing but continuous effort to disregard her thoughtless comments since you met her, including her thoughtless display at 's wedding where she humiliated the entire family! Do you think the family has forgotten her little indiscretion? You asked me the day after that embarrassing 'little' display if you should break up with her and do you remember what I said?!!!! I told you that that was your decision to make but that everyone is entitled to make one mistake! That is some selfish, loveless mother you've got, isn't it!!!! There was my chance to say dump her and I didn't do that because I knew it wasn't my place, and how much you loved her. NOW you will never be asked on another trip and dad and I are your best resource for doing so. Where will little Becca's parent's take you Tony, except crazy?I've reached the end of my rope with you and your ingratitude towards us. YOU once showed us love and affection and gratitude, as well as we reciprocated. I don't know where you went, or your wonderful personality. Now all I see is anger. Is it the meds? The therapist? Does Becca go to a therapist? Has she ever gone with you? Shouldn't you both be in therapy if your unhappy since perhaps it's your marriage that is causing it, or has she convinced you it's " you Tony, and your controlling, suffocating parents! " I can't believe you wouldn't insist on her going, and if she refuses go then there is something wrong with her and your marriage. Any other wife would have called your parent's anything they wanted in order to EASE YOUR ANGUISH, but not Becca. Oh, I forgot, we're your peers, you guys are adults now so you should have the same respect as your parents.....NOT!!!! We deserve respect because we are your parents, we brought you into this world, raised you with nothing but love and kindness, and have done nothing but try to get along with your wife. ARE SO BLIND THAT YOU CAN " T SEE THAT IT IS YOUR WIFE WHO HAS CONVINCED YOU OF THE TERRIBLE PEOPLE WE ARE, AND THAT WE HAVE WRONGED YOU & HER!! WE'VE WRONGED YOU SO MUCH THEN YOU MAY AS WELL CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK BECAUSE YOU CERTIANLY AREN'T A MESSINA OR A BALDOCCHI! PLEASE CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK!!!! She's in complete control of you Tony, you don't speak for yourself anymore. I'm sorry if it hurts to hear it, but your pussy whipped. Oh, what, are you going to call the police tony? Are you going to tell them that I'm threatening you? Maybe you could lie to them like you lied to someone else that I said F'ing Bitch, and not just Bitch? Perhaps your confused...you said F'ing bitch to your mother, the person who gave birth to you, who devoted her entire life to you without needing a career since my boys were my life.I can't wait to hear how she twists this little tidbit around in your brain. She's like those psychiatrists in the 1980's who destroyed umpteen families by telling their young patients that they had repressed memories, that under hypnosis the young man or woman would tell them that they were sexually abused by their parents. It all came out years later that it was one big scam, but how many families did it destroy in the process? Is that how easy we are to write off Tony? Is that how we've raised you, to be me, me, me, my, my, my, just like a little namby pamby teen age girl would cry. Did you know that's what you sound like? You want to be treated like an adult, then ACT LIKE ONE!! Grow up, and face the music Tony, you have a controlling wife. Both dad and I knew that after our get together she would twist what happened to being 'oh woe is me, your parent's wrong me again. " " Tony, what are you going to do about it. I'm your wife, you must defend me against you awful, deceiving, lying, trash bags of parent! " Why do you think she won't change her email name to Messina? ARE YOU THAT NAIVE? Any woman who get's married is so excited to change their name over in every area to the married name, but not Becca because it's too much trouble? You just don't get how some woman manipulate but it's time you find out before you lose your f'ing lose your mind. Trying to make us the scapegoat for your marital woes won't work anymore since we don't want you in our life they way your mind is currently working. We don't know or recognize you anymore as our son Tony, the loving, generous, honest boy we raised. The boy that grandpa doted over. How ashamed would grandpa be now if he could see you tony??!!!!! Do you think he'd have a smidgen of respect left in his body for you? If he can see down from heaven (if there is one,) what do you think he feels? What does Poppy feel? These are peope you used to want to emulate. The shame tony and humiliation you must feel for treating the person who once was your best friend the way you did the other night, and then not owning up to it! You sure showed me didn't you ton? Macho, macho man....I just want to be.. a macho man!!!Get off your entitlement high horse and realize that your not entitled to anything, that one has to earn it in life and you have fallen far short of that in the last 3.5 years! It has been a downward spiral for you tony and I guess you won't get it until you hit rock bottom and no kid born to you will change the marriage you have. No one as selfish as you and becca are should be having children and if you do it is purely narcissism on your part. " Oh look, the baby is just like me...beautfiul, now all my friends will envy me for what a beautifuil baby I created " . Oh, and another laugh is that you guys take the high road? Just what high road is that Ton? You weren't able to start fresh realizing that it would take time to re-establish our relationship with both you and your wife, instead you let her talk you into writing a letter about how we've wronged you, and then just slipping into the letter a little blurb about the Saturday get together so that we wouldn't think that the letter you were insisting on reading from was all about Saturday, when in reality we ALL know it was, or at least three of us.What type of therapist do you have that gives you the type of advice your getting? Or is all your advice coming from becca? Perhaps your not being honest with the therapist, twisting things so that the therapist does think it's our fault. I know when I've gone I want to tell it exactly like it is so I know if I'm wrong or not. I want to know so that I can right any wrongs I've done. But, then again if your mind is as twisted as it appears now you may believe that you are telling the truth when in reality it's becca's truth.Believe it or not I still love you, and I always will. But I can't accept your current behavior, rationale, moods, anger, blame, whining.When your ready to act like an adult, own up to your wrongs, then call us. We'll always be here for you, but we are done fawning over your wife trying to make her like us. We are done feeling guilty for crimes we didn't commit. There was time tony that I respected you enough to have you give me advice that would end the life of my father. What happened to that tony? I know he must still be in there, and is dying to get out, so why don't you? The only decision problems you've ever had are over minute things like where to eat? When it came to tough decisions you were competent, and IF anyone has convinced you otherwise then that is sad. You think I would have had you help me make such a decision with grandpa if I thought you weren't level headed, rational, mature, loving, and wise?Bye Tony. I hope it does't take long for you to break out of your cocoon your trapped in and let the real tony who everyone loved emerge. Just think also who you have alienated in the past 3.5 years. Tyler, Danny, me, dad and now your grandmother is getting worried. If you think we don't rely on family to help us through this crisis with our son then you are sadly mistaken. We may not tell them every detail but we lean on them for advice, something you could certainly use to do!!!!!!!!! Why not listen to the sage wisdom of your grandmother? Why not call an aunt you can trust? Why is it just your peers you listen to? Could it be that its because you'll get the answer that will support your cause? Think about it. I won't be condemned from using family as it was meant to be. If your embarassed by it, then you better think about your actions that would cause such embarassment.Love,Mom > > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > i'm is proud to present Cause Effect, a series about real people making a difference. > http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/MTV/?source=text_Cause_Effect > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 What a blast of toxicity. Makes me glad my nada doesn't know how to use e-mail. Lots of other posters have already offered loads of good advice. I'll just add my sympathy as a fellow KO - sorry that you and your wife have to put up with this. Here's wishing you a better tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I finally started to see that in my Nada that she really thought she was GOd. She was my protector (she worried all the time for me, told me of everything that could go wrong, shielded me from life), she was my provider (it was her money that provided for me she never looked at it as a blessing), she was my healer (she took me from doctor to doctor for any little skin irritation, bump, etc). It's scary how they believe they are more powerful than God.

I question whether my mom has a BPD, or some other mental illness. I ackknowledge I have probably made mistakes, as has my wife, but i am just wondering what people's opinion is on the email i recieved after a fight i had with her. I am at a loss and any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry this email is really long....You have some nerve using YOUR parent's friend to still do your job on your apartment! What a hypocrite you are. If you truly wanted to distance yourself from us and be your own man, you certainly wouldn't be calling our friends to help you out. Sure, get your discount rate but ignore your parent's who were the one's who enabled you to get it!!. It'd be like us calling one of your friends to do us a favor now, how would that feel Tony? I'm sure you wouldn't be at all pleased with that scenario and that you'd actually be angry that your friend even obliged you. However, our friend Homer is too nice of a guy not to work something out for you simply because YOU ARE OUR CHILD!!!! Why not tell Homer about what you think of your mom and dad? Why not tell Homer how you wouldn't let us in the apartment, how you threatened to call the police on your mom and then called your mother a f'ing bitch! Why not tell him that it's been 5 days since and you still have no remorse?Hypocrite of the year award is granted Tony. YOUR selfish parent's do and have done nothing for you in all area's of your life but your still continue using us to your advantage now don't you?What have your wife's parent's friends done for you? Or for that matter what has you wife done for you except leave you in anguish because she can't be satisfied. What a cop out your phony complaint list was, and I knew the minute you got to the part about how we didn't " include Becca in our conversation " , what it was all really about! What is she a 3rd grade mentality now, and we have to spoon feed her to take part in a general conversation? How old is she? When she is with your friends does she need to have everyone doting on her (well that's probably a silly question now, isn't it?)There is no end to you and your wife's hypocrisy. You want to do your apartment and be free and clear of us then you find someone else to do it other then our friends. I think Homer will enjoy hearing what you said to us and how you've kicked your parent's around and treated us like the morning trash. Homer is very loyal so I know this will be a conflict for him if I decide to tell him.You think that paying us off means your not indebted to us too? No, we didn't do anything for you in your life did we? Who gave you the fling flying loan? Who gave you the wedding loan? Who put you through an $80,000 college and paid for all your expenses? Who held a rehearsal dinner at her soon to be daughter in laws request? Who paid over $2,000 dollars for open bar and appetizers when we didn't want an open bar! Who gave you a big check when you got married? Who dropped people form the wedding list to make you happy so you could some bartenders from Rock Bottom? Who didn't get to pick out the invitations to the rehearsal dinner we sponsored because your wife did it on the sly?!!!! What issues were made of that Tony? Wasn't it us once again who gave in to keep the peace? Who gave you a car to use through high school and part of college? Who paid for you to play soccer for how many years AFTER college, with no recognition from you? Who put's nothing but sincere thought into my gift giving for both you and your wife despite our differences, Huh, Ton, who is it? Who invited you guys to go to Hawaii with us at a cost of $6,000? Do you think we did that because we wanted to have nothing to do with your wife?!!! We did it to help us bond more, however we couldn't have dreamed that she would behave the way she did and that the two of you would ignore our wish to spend most of our time together. And yes, you are accountable because YOU heard it first hand from me what we wanted, but you continued to chip away at what I requested because your wife put you up to it or perhaps because you knew Becca was incapable of spending time with us pleasantly. And, if it was you who didn't want to spend time with us then you should have been the way you used to be, honest, and told us so. Perhaps we wouldn't have had you come and we would have saved a ton of money. As far as validated goes, you've got to be kidding? Let's see if I remember right. You initially told me Becca was one day late, you weren't trying for a baby, she had no reason to believe she was pregnant yet she thought she saw something when she got her heavier then usual period. Gee, didn't she just switch pills (or at least you told me she did.) Changing the pill would account for a different flow. IF she thought she was pregnant and miscarried it would have been easy enough to find out with a simple 3 minute home pregnancy kit right then. Since even if you miscarry you still have the elevated levels of hormone in your blood that would indicate you were indeed pregnant. Let's see that means she could have put her worries to rest the 1st day of the trip, and she is validated for her mood for the entire trip to Hawaii? Let me ask you something, how was her mood alone with you? She certainly seemed to be having a good time then!!!!! How could you dismiss her actions with us so easily and then turn them around to blame us? No, we're not understanding because she didn't want to be pregnant, and you guys weren't trying. I could see a day or two max at being down about possibly miscarrying but when there were so many avenues that could have been taken to alleviate her worries there is no excuse! If you don't like to hear this too bad. Why don't you call her ob/gyn and ask the nurse if she would have seen tissue at two weeks pregnant as she claims? What ever she saw was a figment of her imagination, or worse an excuse for her behavior on the trip. But there is no excusing her behavior because there were hospitals, drs., pregnancy tests, nurses in her ob office, or even your idiot mom that she could have contacted or talked to. But see, I would have known it was ruse so she couldn't talk to me. It was all about defending her moods and the sooner you face that the sooner you can manage your wife. Who wouldn't do this in order to ease their mind and have a good time in a place like Hawaii? Do you think you'll ever go there again? You won't be able to afford it, face it. If it weren't for us you would have never gone there, and she was determined to be alone with you because SHE DOESN'T " T LIKE US, not the other way around. Dad buys her a lei and she claims she's allergic to flowers!!! I know you have bought her flowers many times and I've never heard that excuse before. Every time she comes to our house now she says she has allergies to my cats. Is this a recent phenomena? Maybe one that will build the excuse for her not being able to come over here eventually? Wake up! This little blip of a vacation was the dream trip that any other child or person for that matter would have given their left arm for, and yet who ends up trying to make amends but us?!!!! You've got to be kidding right? We're supposed to be understanding of a miscarriage she didn't have and didn't find out until she got home from the trip, coincidentally? Even with all the avenues she had? And why didn't you get her to act sooner to find out it wasn't a pregnancy so that she could enjoy herself? Is it perhaps because she didn't tell you this excuse until she was cornered into why her mood was the way it was the 2nd night before we came home? Isn't it weird that that is when you would find out? You said you noticed her mood so certainly you would have inquired sooner? Certainly you would have said " Bec, my parent's paid ALL this money to bring us with them, we can't ruin the trip because of this, so why don't we go to a dr, hospital, or you at least call home to find out if you should they think you actually miscarried. " Or at least that's what the old Tony would have cared enough to do.We have made nothing but continuous effort to disregard her thoughtless comments since you met her, including her thoughtless display at 's wedding where she humiliated the entire family! Do you think the family has forgotten her little indiscretion? You asked me the day after that embarrassing 'little' display if you should break up with her and do you remember what I said?!!!! I told you that that was your decision to make but that everyone is entitled to make one mistake! That is some selfish, loveless mother you've got, isn't it!!!! There was my chance to say dump her and I didn't do that because I knew it wasn't my place, and how much you loved her. NOW you will never be asked on another trip and dad and I are your best resource for doing so. Where will little Becca's parent's take you Tony, except crazy?I've reached the end of my rope with you and your ingratitude towards us. YOU once showed us love and affection and gratitude, as well as we reciprocated. I don't know where you went, or your wonderful personality. Now all I see is anger. Is it the meds? The therapist? Does Becca go to a therapist? Has she ever gone with you? Shouldn't you both be in therapy if your unhappy since perhaps it's your marriage that is causing it, or has she convinced you it's " you Tony, and your controlling, suffocating parents! " I can't believe you wouldn't insist on her going, and if she refuses go then there is something wrong with her and your marriage. Any other wife would have called your parent's anything they wanted in order to EASE YOUR ANGUISH, but not Becca. Oh, I forgot, we're your peers, you guys are adults now so you should have the same respect as your parents.....NOT!!!! We deserve respect because we are your parents, we brought you into this world, raised you with nothing but love and kindness, and have done nothing but try to get along with your wife. ARE SO BLIND THAT YOU CAN " T SEE THAT IT IS YOUR WIFE WHO HAS CONVINCED YOU OF THE TERRIBLE PEOPLE WE ARE, AND THAT WE HAVE WRONGED YOU & HER!! WE'VE WRONGED YOU SO MUCH THEN YOU MAY AS WELL CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK BECAUSE YOU CERTIANLY AREN'T A MESSINA OR A BALDOCCHI! PLEASE CHANGE YOUR NAME TO SARWARK!!!! She's in complete control of you Tony, you don't speak for yourself anymore. I'm sorry if it hurts to hear it, but your pussy whipped. Oh, what, are you going to call the police tony? Are you going to tell them that I'm threatening you? Maybe you could lie to them like you lied to someone else that I said F'ing Bitch, and not just Bitch? Perhaps your confused...you said F'ing bitch to your mother, the person who gave birth to you, who devoted her entire life to you without needing a career since my boys were my life.I can't wait to hear how she twists this little tidbit around in your brain. She's like those psychiatrists in the 1980's who destroyed umpteen families by telling their young patients that they had repressed memories, that under hypnosis the young man or woman would tell them that they were sexually abused by their parents. It all came out years later that it was one big scam, but how many families did it destroy in the process? Is that how easy we are to write off Tony? Is that how we've raised you, to be me, me, me, my, my, my, just like a little namby pamby teen age girl would cry. Did you know that's what you sound like? You want to be treated like an adult, then ACT LIKE ONE!! Grow up, and face the music Tony, you have a controlling wife. Both dad and I knew that after our get together she would twist what happened to being 'oh woe is me, your parent's wrong me again. " " Tony, what are you going to do about it. I'm your wife, you must defend me against you awful, deceiving, lying, trash bags of parent! " Why do you think she won't change her email name to Messina? ARE YOU THAT NAIVE? Any woman who get's married is so excited to change their name over in every area to the married name, but not Becca because it's too much trouble? You just don't get how some woman manipulate but it's time you find out before you lose your f'ing lose your mind. Trying to make us the scapegoat for your marital woes won't work anymore since we don't want you in our life they way your mind is currently working. We don't know or recognize you anymore as our son Tony, the loving, generous, honest boy we raised. The boy that grandpa doted over. How ashamed would grandpa be now if he could see you tony??!!!!! Do you think he'd have a smidgen of respect left in his body for you? If he can see down from heaven (if there is one,) what do you think he feels? What does Poppy feel? These are peope you used to want to emulate. The shame tony and humiliation you must feel for treating the person who once was your best friend the way you did the other night, and then not owning up to it! You sure showed me didn't you ton? Macho, macho man....I just want to be.. a macho man!!!Get off your entitlement high horse and realize that your not entitled to anything, that one has to earn it in life and you have fallen far short of that in the last 3.5 years! It has been a downward spiral for you tony and I guess you won't get it until you hit rock bottom and no kid born to you will change the marriage you have. No one as selfish as you and becca are should be having children and if you do it is purely narcissism on your part. " Oh look, the baby is just like me...beautfiul, now all my friends will envy me for what a beautifuil baby I created " . Oh, and another laugh is that you guys take the high road? Just what high road is that Ton? You weren't able to start fresh realizing that it would take time to re-establish our relationship with both you and your wife, instead you let her talk you into writing a letter about how we've wronged you, and then just slipping into the letter a little blurb about the Saturday get together so that we wouldn't think that the letter you were insisting on reading from was all about Saturday, when in reality we ALL know it was, or at least three of us.What type of therapist do you have that gives you the type of advice your getting? Or is all your advice coming from becca? Perhaps your not being honest with the therapist, twisting things so that the therapist does think it's our fault. I know when I've gone I want to tell it exactly like it is so I know if I'm wrong or not. I want to know so that I can right any wrongs I've done. But, then again if your mind is as twisted as it appears now you may believe that you are telling the truth when in reality it's becca's truth.Believe it or not I still love you, and I always will. But I can't accept your current behavior, rationale, moods, anger, blame, whining.When your ready to act like an adult, own up to your wrongs, then call us. We'll always be here for you, but we are done fawning over your wife trying to make her like us. We are done feeling guilty for crimes we didn't commit. There was time tony that I respected you enough to have you give me advice that would end the life of my father. What happened to that tony? I know he must still be in there, and is dying to get out, so why don't you? The only decision problems you've ever had are over minute things like where to eat? When it came to tough decisions you were competent, and IF anyone has convinced you otherwise then that is sad. You think I would have had you help me make such a decision with grandpa if I thought you weren't level headed, rational, mature, loving, and wise?Bye Tony. I hope it does't take long for you to break out of your cocoon your trapped in and let the real tony who everyone loved emerge. Just think also who you have alienated in the past 3.5 years. Tyler, Danny, me, dad and now your grandmother is getting worried. If you think we don't rely on family to help us through this crisis with our son then you are sadly mistaken. We may not tell them every detail but we lean on them for advice, something you could certainly use to do!!!!!!!!! Why not listen to the sage wisdom of your grandmother? Why not call an aunt you can trust? Why is it just your peers you listen to? Could it be that its because you'll get the answer that will support your cause? Think about it. I won't be condemned from using family as it was meant to be. If your embarassed by it, then you better think about your actions that would cause such embarassment.Love,Mom > > > > > > > __________________________________________________________> i'm is proud to present Cause Effect, a series about real people making a difference.> http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/MTV/?source=text_Cause_Effect> > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]> _________________________________________________________________ Don't get caught with egg on your face.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Along those lines -- my nada didn't know how to quit worrying so much and just do what she could and give the rest to God. She was scared of EVERYTHING -- no faith that God was in control and that she could trust Him. She would rather rail at everybody with crazy emotions, smoke like a fiend, cuss like a sailor, run everybody down, etc. She deluded herself that she was in control of everything, and had to worry about it all the time. In a way, nada had more " faith " in her way of dealing with things, than to trust God to help her. (But she showed up in church twice a year, regardless! LOL....)

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hey Everyone, Sorry I didn't get these reply's until just now, but wow it was awesome to have so much support from you all. Thank you to all those that replied with advice and similar stories. It feels good to know that I am not alone out there. The last half of year has been extremely difficult on me. I am not sure who said they would bet ten cyberdollars on it all starting with the wedding planning, you are exactly right. It actually all started when we got engaged, and then everything went downhill. My wife always thought it was because my mom wasnt invited to go dress shopping with my wife and her mom, but it was just the start of things. My parents and my wife got along great before the engagement, which was so frustrating for me to see things turn so sour. One thing that i am struggling with is if it is my mom with the BPD, then why is my dad allowing her to do all these things. He has sided with her on everything. He is also very controlling i know, but still. One example of this, is after things had settled down with this arguement, and my parents thought that things were getting better, i did not feel better, and i felt like i was letting them walk all over me. so i wrote out a letter to them, just explaining how they have treated me in the past, and how it has made me feel, just so i could get my feelings out there. i then called them and read it to them. I asked if they were both on the phone, and my dad responeded yes. after i read the letter, only my dad was responding, so i asked if my mom was there, and he said yes, but i have told her not to talk at all. i kept asking for her, and she wouldnt respond, so i thought she wasnt there, and i accussed my dad of this. he then got mad at me for calling him a liar, and then finally my mom responeded, after all of this. I used this in my arguement against him then, to show him how he tries to control everything, and had gone against my wishes to talk to them both, not to just talk to him. Anyways, I am struggling with why this has happend to me, and what i have done wrong to make this all happen. When i think of my parents, i think of all the good times, and it makes me feel extremely guilty to be mad at them and not talking to them. i want so badly to have them in my life, and a part of my future kids lives, but right now i just cant see that happening. If anyone could give some advice on how to handle this situation, do i cut them off completly? Do i have them in my life but just knowing that she has some serious issues and to ignore anything she says or does? I just dont know what to do, or where to go from here. I feel like this has consumed my life the past 6 months, and i really do not want it to anymore. i really just want to be happy again. i am seeing a therapist, which has helped, but am still not feeling like myself. Anyways, sorry for the lengthy response. Any more help people have to offer or insight into the whole BPD or why my dad may be siding with her or not doing anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all the support, you have no idea how much better that made me feel this morning. Tony > > > I love the family means I love you no matter what part.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Tony, Sounds like you are on the right path.......therapy, writing, sharing your feelings, standing up to your dad. These are all healthy behaviors. Have either one of your parents reached out for some help through this family crisis??? If not, that should say it all. I have been NC with my BP mom (nada) since August.......and it was a long time coming. I have been a door mat to her and my probably BP sister. Thank God my dad divorced my nada 20+ year ago because he has been a great support to me. Your letter was an amazing example of why I am NC with my mom. Although I haven't received such a seething letter like yours.....I'm sure it is coming. I learned early on with my nada, not to borrow money or ANYTHING, for the fact that she lords it over you. If I need anything I go to dad......and even then and because I have seen his own family take advantage of him......I pay him back and then some. There are givers and there are takers in my family, mostly takers. I'm glad you are here, there are great people here with both parents lost to BPD.....and I know they will be here to help you through. Take care, kiss your wife, its going to be OK.......drlingirl > > > > > > I love the family means I love you no matter what part.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Tony -- I highly recommend " Understanding the Borderline Mother " -- it goes into detail not only about the mother, but about the MEN THAT MARRY THEM. It's a predictable pattern -- the particular dysfunction in the BPD woman answers a need in the man who marries her. And yes, it's very common among all of us that we all remember good times, too. I remember a lot of laughs and good times -- with both parents. My dad is a cut-up, so joking around with his kids came naturally. BUT -- as the book lays out, the problem arises when any issue arises where the husband has to choose between his kids or his wife: HE USUALLY CHOOSES HIS WIFE. This is a textbook scenario that you're living in. Don't feel guilty about taking care of yourself and your marriage NOW just because you remember some good times. A few good times in the past are not worth selling your soul now. If you want my opinion, I think you should start arming yourself with as much information on what you're dealing with as possible. Some great books I can recommend (besides " Understanding the Borderline Mother " , or " UBM " ) are " Surviving the Borderline Parent " , " Emotional Blackmail " , " Stop Walking on Eggshells " , and last but not least, a GREAT book called " Leaving Home " by Celani. To stock up on a few of these books is a tiny investment with the potential for a LOT of benefit to your life. Your life, self- respect and marriage are worth it. Oh, and now that you've " said your piece " through that letter, you can rest knowing you've said what was on your mind. I wouldn't recommend too much more of that in the future -- your parents aren't interested in a worthwhile dialogue with you. Most of us have had to learn that hard lesson, but once you do, you can move on. Be polite, be detached, learn some tools from those books, and get on with your life without the added burden of trying to carry your mom & dad's dysfunction -- it will suck the life right out of you. -Kyla > > > > > > I love the family means I love you no matter what part.
