Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Did your bpd parent ever refer to you as " that child " or " that girl " (or boy)? I was watching an excerpt on the news last night of Casey (the woman in florida who allegedly murdered her 2 year old daughter) and she kept saying over and over, " I loved THAT girl. " It makes me uncomfortable. Who refers to their own child as " that girl " or " that child? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Reminds me of " A Boy Called It. " My fada used to call my brother, " Boy, " when he was a baby, as in, " my boy " and my mom protested--but it was in that case just another term of endearment. However, prefixing it with " that " is basically objectification, which is creepy. " It " and " That " transforms living people into a object, which makes it easier to justify cruel or unusual behavior toward the person. Just like in the case of Casey . Very sad. > > > > > Did your bpd parent ever refer to you as " that child " or " that girl " (or > boy)? > > I was watching an excerpt on the news last night of Casey (the > woman in florida who allegedly murdered her 2 year old daughter) and she > kept saying over and over, " I loved THAT girl.
