OMG! Putting it all together!

[Guest guest]

OMG! I had the experience with my mother...exactly! My nada wears glasses and

always commented on how I would read in the dark and how I should turn a light

on or I would go blind! The tv as well, when I was young... " Don't sit too close

you'll ruin your eyesight! " She would also complain if the tv was too loud. She

would go over to her elderly mother's house and chastised her for having the tv

so loud. The irony now is she does the same. At 68 she finally got hearing

aides, after at least 10 years of our family telling her she needed them. Why?

Why are they like this?!? So stubborn and so similar! My nada is such a

difficult person - I have worked with people in sales and customer service and

have had great success dealing with difficult people who seem tame compared to

what I have lived with all my life! I love this sight and how it adds sanity in

dealing with BPD!!

Thank you! - am an only child and this sight makes me feel a certain kinship to

you all...like we grew up together and are now able to talk about our

experiences, thank God!

My grandmother use to say the same about reading in dim light " ruining eyes " . I

don't think this is a BPD thing, but more of a folk saying thing from people of

her generation. Also a lack of awareness of others' reality...unable to

remember that when they were young they too were able to read easily with less

light.
