[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks to those who have shared there experience. In terms of the diagnosis, the reason I said very likely is because she can't/won't ever seek therapy because she believes everyone else is the problem so of course I don't have an official diagnosis. My thoughts are based on my own long term work in therapy, the advice of my therapist, reading and being in the field myself. I'm aware that there are a lot of reasons for abusive behavior that have nothing to do with a personality disorder, but in this case I think it fits. As another poster says regardless of the label, she's has a lifetime of emotional abuse. The usefulness for me of having a name for it just comes from trying to understand it better and see it from a more objective, less personal perspective. Some of the posts though really illustrate why it's hard to get help with this sort of thing. [/quote]
