[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the person who brought up the estranged parents stuff, and let's say we lay off of it, because it won't serve OP. My point, which was made recklessly, is that OP does NOT fit the pattern of an abusive parent who is obfuscating her abuse. OP has the very odd and seldom case that it isn't her fault -- she's got a kid with a personality disorder. The estranged part relates to her only in that her DD threatened it, but the AC DD will never cut off her mother unless her mother has nothing left to offer her, which is never, so that is not happening.

OP, I am sorry for the confusion that I created. There are people here with various agendas. My agenda has to do with personality disorders/abuse/trauma etc, but I recognized your daughter immediately and had to tell you -- she is a BPD.[/quote]

So you're blaming parents for mental illness in offspring...

BPD occurs because of a pattern of abuse and neglect by parents. It's a trauma reaction.  [/quote][/quote]

I am saying it's in the genes, mostly.

Families with the genes plus trauma/abuse - bpd expressed regularly

Families with the genes plus NO trauma/abuse - bpd expressed less regularly

Families without the genes plus major trauma/abuse -- this is potentially changing genes to introduce bpd to be passed down

Etc

This is difficult because the families who have the genetic part usually also have abuse/dysfunction/trauma but not always. [/quote]
