[quote=Anonymous]It's possible that she did experience some trauma that she is subconsciously blocking out and in trying to figure out why she feels the way she does, this is the "safe" thing she landed on. I agree with PP that OP doesn't fit the pattern of an abusive parent. OP, my two cents is that you're getting too much in the weeds with her on these issues and when you point out something like her own drinking or misuse of terminology like the roommate causing her trauma, it's making her dig in even more on her own beliefs. You can step back a bit but still be loving toward her. I'd back off on immediately replying to her texts. She needs to experience those types of things and figure them out on their own - and eventually she may see a pattern in her interactions with people, but it could take a long time.[/quote]
