Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 This woman the article writes about could have a depressive disorder, or a personality disorder, or she could have scrambled her brain through years of substance abuse. Or all of the above. Or something else entirely, like a brain tumor or traumatic brain injury. Or schizophrenia. There's not really enough information in that article to guess, in my opinion. But what a horrible tragedy when a person decides to kill herself in such a way that other, totally innocent people are put in harm's way and even killed as a result. Such behavior illustrates why those with bpd should NOT be caring for children or even be around children unsupervised, since bpd does have a relatively high occurrence of suicide threats and completed suicides. I remember several occasions where I thought my enraged nada was going to kill both of us while she was driving. She'd be in a red-faced, eyes-bugged-out, spittle-flying rage, screaming at and staring at me (instead of at the road) while accelerating, jerking the wheel erratically, swerving between lanes, drifting into the oncoming lane, and I'd be so traumatized afterward I'd be white and shaking from shock and vomiting. Its like she wanted to kill me, even if it meant killing herself to do it. -Annie > > BPD?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Wow Annie, I'm so sorry that happened to you. No wonder you don't want to talk to her. Who would want to ever speak to someone who did that to them? Just wow. Sending that little girl a million hugs.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Transparent moment here. When I read your post, I immediately said to myself, " oh gosh... it really wasn't THAT bad... I survived! " But wow! YES IT WAS THAT BAD! IT WAS ABUSE. HORRIFIC, ONGOING, PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE AT THE HANDS OF A CRAZY WOMAN I WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL MOTHER! NOBODY SAVED ME. NOBODY BELIEVED ME. I WAS ALWAYS TO BLAME FOR HER ACTIONS. IT'S NOT FAIR. IT'S NOT RIGHT. I'D BE SOMEBODY ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TODAY IF I DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO WONDER IF I MADE SOMEBODY REALLY REALLY REALLY UPSET IF THEY'D KILL THEMSELF OR ME. Ok... that is how I really feel. It was bad. It is bad. It will never NOT be bad. I can choose to not react to her but she'll continue to be 'her.' Lynnette > > > > > > > > BPD?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Big hugs to you, Lynnette, Annie, and all of you whose nadas put them through this trama - the word doesn't even begin to convey the torture of it all. What kind of evil people are these that would threaten or even attempt to end their own or their child's life as punishment for some real or imagined offense? My nada is also bi-polar and becomes hypomanic, so she's done some really stupidly dangerous things, but nothing that competes with this. Although, my NPD fada made nada think he had overdosed on tranqs at least once that I remember. And after fada passed, nada " forgot " to take a medication for a serious, potentionally life-threatening disease - FOR A YEAR. To me, that qualifies as a prolonged suicide attempt, but was far less dramatic, at least until the disease progressed to the point of surgery. And I had to take care of her in the hospital for 2 weeks, then in my home for another 2. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Wow, this triggered a memory for me, too. I remember my parents having a huge row while driving on a busy highway and nada tried to jump out of the car. Fada caught her by the wrist and pulled her back inside, so I guess nada wasn't trying too hard ;P Talk about a drama mama! Joy > > > > > > BPD?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 The last time my nada scared the crap out of me in the car was when I was driving and nada was in the passenger seat next to me. Nada believed that she saw a truck " coming at us " when I was passing through an intersection. She actually took hold of the steering wheel and tried to turn it toward her. I had to hold tight and scream at her to STOP IT! Nada has become very visually impaired over the last 10 years and can't drive anymore, and it has always made her very, very nervous for me to drive her, for God knows what reason. I am a very safe and excellent driver; I've never caused an accident or a near-miss, or been in a major accident (I don't count the ones where I was waiting at an intersection for the light to change and got hit from behind. That happened twice. Very low impact each time, no damage.) All I can assume is that nada must be projecting her own nervousness and (possibly) a subliminal wish to kill me, onto me. She thinks I'm too nervous to drive and will kill us, seems like. Anyway, I had to really let loose and scream at her to never, ever do that again or she'd never be in a car with me driving again. It seemed to penetrate that I was serious, and she didn't try that again, although she shrieked in terror a couple of other times at what she thought were cars or trucks bearing down on us, but which weren't there. (Hallucinating, perhaps?) The sudden screaming rattled me, but not as much as having her try to jerk the steering wheel out of my control. Fortunately now that I am in virtual no contact, that issue doesn't come up any longer. -Annie > > > > > > > > BPD?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Annie, When you talk about the subliminal wish to kill us - I hear you. I believe the same of my nada. But I don't know really what else to think about it. In the book The Family Crucible, it states that it takes 2 to cause a suicide - 1 to wish them dead and 1 to commit suicide. I believe my nada and bada both wanted me to DIE DIE DIE - but I don't know why they did or why I think that. . .

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 When I was learning to drive, my stepmom and I went on a trip to the " city "  on the interstate highway, and she let me drive.  She didn't want me driving in the city though, so right before we got to the city, she told me to pull over on the side of the road so she could take over, and I did. I looked in my mirrors to make sure it was safe to do so, and then pulled over, under an overpass. She got mad at me and said, " You weren't supposed to pull over there! "  She didn't give me specific instructions, just to pull over. Just one more thing I could never do right. Jaent   Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I guess I will have to cheerfully disagree with that theory, that it takes two to cause a suicide. I just don't buy that at all. To me, that is co-dependent thinking. I don't care if my nada wishes I were dead; I'm not going to give her that satisfaction! And if she should decide to kill herself, that has nothing to do with me. I don't wish her dead, I just want her to leave me alone if she can't behave like a normal human being. But I do think that in my nada's case, there is possibly a subconscious death wish coming from her and directed at me. I can't explain the things she's done to me in any other way. She would never admit it, I'm sure, but how else do you explain her actions in the car, and other violent acts she perpetrated? -Annie > > Annie, When you talk about the subliminal wish to kill us - I hear you.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 If that theory resonates with you, then, that's an important theory for you. Perhaps in your situation that is relevant. I can see how a child could be driven to feel suicidal by continuous, chronic, hateful, toxic treatment by a parent or an entire foo. Children have little ability to withstand devastating emotional assault by parents. And different individuals have different circumstances, and different levels of innate resilience, or so I believe. But my nada is an adult. I do not buy the idea that if my nada should choose to kill herself (she's made a couple of threats at this point) it would be my fault for " wishing her dead. " I'm not going to accept responsibility for her feelings or her actions in that regard. I refuse. -Annie > > > > > > Annie, When you talk about the subliminal wish to kill us - I hear you.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Oh annie, great point. I didn't mean at all that the suicidal nada was wished dead by the KO.
