[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what's going on with her.  I wonder about attachment issues, though--how was her relationship with her own parents?  Was she abused, neglected, etc.?[/quote]

Well, her mom had 6 children between the ages of 15-21 (with the same man, my grandfather). She always says she had a close relationship with her dad, but I would not be surprised to find out that he was physically abusive to the kids, or that she and her siblings witnessed him abusing my grandmother. He was also a pretty self-involved person, and my mom reminds me of him a lot, actually. He was the type of person who you could never really have a true conversation with, it was him doing all of the talking.

One of my mom's sisters told me about a family member molesting her, so obviously my mom was at risk too. People on her side of the family have a sad habit of overlooking abusive behavior by men, so I really don't know what might [b]have[/b] happened to any of them.[/quote]
