Amazing how such a profoundly disturbing mental illness can bring me to fits of

laughter at times - as did The Supreme High Priestess of the Sacred Dishwasher.

Ohhh, yeah.

Nada didn't even need to run it, 'cause the dishes were clean when they went in,

and by God if you put them in the wrong way! Sacrilege!

> That will never cease to amaze me, how many of the nadas posted about here

have not only this bizarre, intense belief that nada is the only one who can

load it " the right way " , what amazes me even more is nada's overpowering need to

denigrate, shame, humiliate or otherwise rip into her child for " not loading the

dishwasher the right way. "

this behavior and why it should focus on... the dishwasher.

obsessive, controlling and punitive if we didn't do any typical chore " the right

way. " And her own mother is NOT like this at all, nor her father. They liked a

neat and tidy home, but my grandparents were never into freaking screaming at

people about it or punishing them about it. NOBODY in my nada's entire extended

foo behaves anything like her, she's the only one with a pd in her family, on

both sides.)
