Ya gotta wonder.. don't ya?

How does it become " all about them, all of the time? "

It's like some hideous TV show that has a 24/7 loop live-feed. Any

conflict, any situation, any weather condition... somehow becomes

about THEM.

Currently in my family two of my mom's sibling's are in an all out

email everyone " tiff " . She shared that with me yesterday. I

remained neutral and didn't say much (I was on phone after a long

work day and just, honestly, was staring at a plant that needed

watering....). Anyway... after telling me the lo-down, she then

said, " Well, *I've* always been the black sheep of the family so I

guess I'll just stay there. " She then went on about how

horribly 'she's' been treated.

Um. Ok.

If you're scratching your head about now, you're not alone.

It's been bothering me for 24 hours. Just floating around in the

back of my brain. Didn't interfere with work, however ;o)

But I have to ask... HOW did an 'outside fight' that has NOTHING to

do with her even begin to TRIGGER a bpd comment like that? I feel

obligated to make that connection...sorta... won't keep me up at

night but still...

Anyone want to jump in and attempt to connect the dots for me or is

this just simply a lesson in insanity?
