[quote=Anonymous]Wow, we should meet for coffee. I could have written half of this or more. Are there really NAMI groups for children of those with personality disorders? Anyone have a link.

I agree to an extent with the poster who said Golden Children are victims too, but some get help and want to break the cycle and some join in the abuse. My GC sibling joined in the abuse and will absolutely inherit far more doing far less.

Honestly, my life got so crazy I was going to lose it if I didn't set boundaries and do some rope dropping. I had to detach and distance. didn't go over well, but I had my own health crisis so it was easier to do as literal survival.

We do have a geriatric social worker involved though and mom pays for it. She hooted, hollered, tantrummed and told me I was a selfish Biotch, but eventually she agreed to it because she wants to live as long as possible and have the best care.

I do think some are already taking advantage, but nothing criminal. Mom would never go to therapy. Instead her housekeeper, gardener, hairdresser and accountant are her "yes" people, BFFs and "therapists" in her mind. I am always hearing about she paid the housekeeper to have tea with her and listen to her vent about us or she paid the accountant to listen to her discuss for the 176th time if she needs to re-do her will and cut me out. She's getting a bargain with the housekeeper, hairdresser and gardener listening to her vent, but with the amount her accountant charges, the accountant will probably buy herself a new car just from charging a fortune to kiss up to my mom rather than just referring her to a therapist.[/quote]
