[quote=Anonymous]I just want to point out that it's really interesting to me that this woman's article is just a screaming red flag to so many people.  It's all the people who have had to manage someone with this type of personality disorder.  The most interesting thing is just how freaking similar all the traits and behaviors are.  It is freaky.

So I had never really had to deal with someone with a personality disorder before until I was 32.  So I was a sitting duck, and I was completely on the side of the person with the personality disorder.  I wondered why all her family members kept her at a distance. I got sucked in.  I'd say it took me a good 10 years to free myself and establish healthy boundaries.

So knowing what I know with people with personality disorders - this woman actually has zero self-awareness of her own culpability while at the same time feeling tremendous guilt.  She actually does NOT remember what happened, she has her own hazy fictitious memory of how things happened in her own mind.  She feels very much the victim.   She will not stop until she feels she can get all the family members, and now the public at large, on her side to see her as the victim, and the son and daughter in law as the enemies.  She really believes everything she is saying.
