[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is weird -- someone in my life posted a rant on Facebook using a lot of the same terminology. I know this is not the same person. But is everyone reading the same self-help book? [/quote]

This thread has less discussion of “enmeshed” family members and narcissism but it’s the same word cloud. [/quote]

Lots of People with boomer parents experience similar neglect or abuse but it’s not the boomers fault; Or you could say lots of boomers’ children are mentally ill lunatics and it’s not the boomers fault.  [/quote]

I’m not giving boomers a pass. I am suggesting that some of this language is trendy and that some mental health terms are applied haphazardly. [/quote]

Yes I think some terms are being applied incorrectly, that sucks because it undermines those true emotional abuse.  For example if you call every one you dislike Narcissist, that’s not fair to those who have to deal with real narcissists.  [/quote]
