Seeking clarity on Nada's hypocrisy

[Guest guest]

I'm a trifle confused. The Lawson book says that BP mothers feel

justified in even the most outrageous abuses of their children. I think mine

certainly did. Why then, would she loudly and pompously condemn other people who

did the same? She always did that.

Just one example was her syrupy sympathising with some poor kid whose mother

used to say she wished she's aborted him. This was about twenty years ago, and I

shot back at her, " You used to say that to ME all the time! " She said, " Oh well,

if you'd had you for a daughter you'd have said it too. " Okay to say it to me,

but not for anyone else, right?

I'm sorry for being clueless; I'm fairly new to thinking about nada in the

context of BPD. Perhaps when all is said and done, Randi Kreger hits the mark

in saying we should just expect them to behave in ways that make no sense.

I wonder if any people here can shed light on this?

Thanks for listening
