[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, OP. Now I've read through the whole thread-- this sounds exactly like PDA (pathological demand avoidance, also known as persistent drive for autonomy)

There are a lot of resources out there if you know where to look.

Yeah, I've long thought that. I know it's controversial as an "official" diagnosis, but I think it can be accurate as a descriptive term for a set of conditions and behaviors.

I use declarative language in stern tones at home with noticeable, albeit still small, success.

I've tried to get others to do the same. People get really weird about it, though. After one discussion, I thought there was 50-50% chance she was going to try to report me to CPS. Though, after about 6 months she started to inch in that direction. She later complained to me that people accused her of abuse, seemingly oblivious to my initial discussion with her.

My somewhat jaded view is that it doesn't really matter, though. Someone with PDA simply isn't going to be able to function in the modern world. They're going to end up either homeless or in prison.[/quote]
