Re: new parent / Jean - Welcome

[Guest guest]

Jean, well of course we want to talk!

That's what we're here for! : )

I never knew anyone else (but we haven't discussed it here that I remember)

that's kid would want them to spank them! Mine used to honestly bring me the

paddle! So strange! But BPD behavior is the strangest, isn't it?

That is wonderful that it has made you stronger as a couple. I know of many

that it has nearly torn apart, or even divorced from the horrible stress of

the illness. How in the world do you manage to be so nice to your daughter?

Especially when they have rages... does yours rage? It's so difficult to

ignore/ be nice, etc. when they're screaming at you and accusing you of

everything under the sun.

I must say I haven't read " I Hate You don't Leave Me " , but that would make

me angry if they tried to blame the parents. I've read most of Stop Walking

On Eggshells.

Remarkable similarities to our children isn't it?

I have a 33 year old daughter, and grandchildren. We do not live in the

same city, but we do talk on the phone quite a bit when she is speaking to me.

Mine ran the gamut from skipping school, running away, etc. when she was a

teen, and it nearly made me nuts. Most of the time I did feel nuts. She has

wreaked havoc in her adult life too, but at least we're not under the same

roof anymore! I couldn't take it!

Glad you're here, welcome to the group.

have found our boundries and we respect each other alot. It drives our

daughter nuts that we are nice to her. She even has screamed at us that we

are too nice and she can't take it. I guess I should stop and see if anyone

wants to talk after reading this. I have never been to a site like this

before.
