But I think now that I read this that much of what she told me about her life was just hints at what really happened in childhood and fleshed out from the scarce bits it seems was a lot like this, with her only very rarely trusting to tell snippets of the true story. It was same stuff - moving a lot, alcoholic lodgers in home, no food in house, constant berating etc. She would go completely silent. almost frozen, around my family scared of saying anything or revealing anything at all about her childhood life at all. The basic story of neglect and being resented rings true here. I think it was probably all just similar horrific emotional abuse, but although her mother was narcissistic by any basic assessment, she herself turned out with borderline personality disorder. Whether that was genetic or environmental is hard to say unless qualified psychiatrist, but it made her a unstable adult and unable to function normally by any standard. She refused to accept therapy and considers any problems to be responsibility of others. The damage done by narcissist parents to children is staggering, and unless some insight gained it just goes on and repeats itself over and over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333405565931840271.post-23512420472063720082015-04-13T09:15:23.320-07:002015-04-13T09:15:23.320-07:00There are just no words at this. :( This should...There are just no words at this. :( This should not be ANY child's life.

The abandonment, your postponement of when you should start looking out for YOURSELF (...another half hour, 'til 4:00) the way she blamed YOU for crying when SHE left you with no word...this is all so sickeningly familiar. We are all so strong for having survived all this.
