[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bizarre and crazy backstory narratives the pro-estrangement posters are weaving out of thin air are remarkable. Screaming "narcissist" while embellishing a wholly imaginary backstory does not make you sound rational or credible.

I think there are times estrangement is necessary. Not getting the exact present you wanted in college is not one of them. [/quote]

Serious question, have you ever been affected by or spent time with a genuinely personality disordered individual? There are very distinct characteristics that are pretty obvious to those that have been there. There’s obviously more to the story about the college pet gift than Mom is relaying.[/quote]

Yes. Making up wildly exaggerated stories and background was part of the dysfunction. [/quote]

Ah, gaslighting by accusing the other person of gaslighting! My least fave :-/[/quote]

You know, you are really building the case that the people screaming narcissist are unbalanced.

I believe there are cases where estrangement is warranted. I believe there are cases of years of abuse. I have friends, in fact, in that situation. But I also believe there are people like a lot of posters on this thread who live in entirely fantastical worlds, where they are imaginary victims. Making up whole cloth backstories is typical of this type. Look, I am not the one who made up an imaginary backstory here. I didn't come up with some fantasy world. That was you and the other pro-estrangement posters. And when you do that, you really weaken your credibility. The fact you don't even see this should be a red flag to you, but I bet it won't be.

Five bucks says this PP is the mom that wrote the post about giving her DIL the pet gift.

PP, you don't know any better than anyone else if there's a backstory or not as it relates to the situations posted on this thread. The fact you are so ridiculously insistent that there isn't says a lot about your motives and background. I choose to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially those who don't have the opportunity to defend themselves.

And personally, I don't give a crap if you take people's claims of narcissism seriously. Who are you, really? Nobody.[/quote]
