[quote=Anonymous]Your need to fit her perfectly into a category is a result of the way she treated you as a child. She was rigid and so now you’re trying to fit her into a rigid category. It doesn’t matter which category she fits, OP. The point is just understanding her emotional immaturity and how it affected you and continues to affect you and finding ways to deal with that, heal from that, and use that to manage the type of relationship you have with her now (if any) and, if you have kids of your own, how to parent them better than you were parented yourself. It’s a LOT. I read the book. My parents both have a lot of traits of emotionally immature parents but they don’t fit neatly into any category either. Usually people don’t fit neatly into groups 100%. People are complicated and everyone has their own unique background and experiences and genetics that affect their personality, etc.[/quote]
