Yep, same here. She'd prefer her new family (who don't know her) than have to deal with the damage she did to her original "perfect family". The one she dumped when she had finished sucking the life out of them. Having both parents with personality disorders is not nice at all. Scott

Yeti was definately of the "They are weak" brigade. Everyone who had anything to do with her always ended up "weak and immature" too. She could be remarkably insightful (and vaguely amusing) at times...

So am I :-). Can't IMAGINE knowing what I do and still having such majorly Fd up relationships and still thinking it's all everyone else's fault. Some people's external critic is exactly that - externalised.

It's OK to have children and if you are worried about what effect the PTSD might have on uyour children it is a pretty good start. Both my parents (Yeti and Dud) have NPD to various degrees. And they dont give a toss what the effect their entire personalities had/have on ANYONE, much less their...

I can't get out of my mind the feeling of being trapped, held hostage to Yeti's constant/latest neurosis, and powerless to escape. I hate her, I hate her, I hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott

I would say I am just about asexual as well. Scott

Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome to me but I could be wrong. You had to identify with your captor to survive. And now the captor has gone and yes, that does mean there's a big hole in your identity (not 'you' but just your identity). Scott

For me, it's dogs. I have rescued several abused dogs :-) A bit of sublimation therapy. Scott

Me too, for a *LONG* time i was sleeping during the day and awake at night. Scott

Yes i know. Have altzheimers in both sides of the family too. They'd better put their foot down with finding a treatment lol Scott

No it sounds like you are on the right track. Scott

Sounds like he had his hostage. And yes, that does matter. Unescapability/Captivity is one of the defining things in (c)PTSD. Scott

I could if I wanted to but I don't want to :)

I've put a sort of "Time Line" on a big piece of butchers' paper and put stuff on it as I remembered them. Probably just as well if you dissociate as much as I do. I've had the same piece of paper for a few years now (not much spare room any more!) very useful to me and any Ts that want a...

PTSD has been linked to development of Alzheimer's disease. Scott

Me too. She hasn't respected any boundaries for the last 68 years and she's unlikely to start just for me. (or anyone else for that matter). Some people view boundaries as invitations to violate. And she's good at it... Scott

Good because Yeti is getting better at being a Yeti... Malignant NPD. Scott

I think the biggest risk would be combining a MAOI with a tricyc. Or ssri (MAOI are usu. Only given in an inpatient setting) As far as I know tricyc. and ssri have a similar (ish) mechanism of action. Scott

If I hear rehashing what should be in the past once more I'll scream. Scott

I wish there was a single event that caused my ptsd. I received the diagnosis at 33.

I voted syndrome; PTSD is not 'just' one thing it's a syndrome...

I was also troublesome, difficult, etc etc etc. I've heard through aquaintences that Dud is "disappointed about how his kids have turned out", but i think it's his kids who have been the most disappointed... my 2 brothers hardly ever see him and I simply dont see him. I think even HE's got the...

When people talk about "Family Values" they never talk about mine, it might make their brain short circuit (makes MINE short circuit). Yeti is my female object (my Abominable Snowmum) and Dud is my male object (my Dud). People who say "Blood is thicker than water" must have come from another...

Me too :), The Addams Family - the later interpersonal effects and the people I seem to magnetically attract (N/AsPDs) have been at times the number 1 stumbling block for me and made the PTSD 10 times worse... How the hell are we expected NOT to have some sort of attachment disorder when we've...

"It must have happened for a reason"... (Yeti the Abominable Snowmum) Yep, it happened because both my parents a psychopathic prats...
