[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, everyone’s mom has a diagnosable personality disorder. Please. Perpertuating the idea that we must be engaged but respectful and awesome is what causes so many of us to feel inferior.

The truth is, even now, with awareness and help and men helping - this shit is hard. It just is. Work on you and improving. Stop blaming your mothers. How juvenile. [/quote]

I'm going to stop you right there. No one is talking about being a Pinterest perfect parent.  Being a parent is hard, . Being  hard is not an excuse to be emotionally negligent or abusive. [b]If you're spending all day yelling at your kid is resenting your kid for being a child you need to seek help. [/b]What happens in childhood matters it doesn't just magically go away when you turn 18.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't think anyone said this was okay. I just also don't like this movement of painting all moms that struggled with this brush of 'BPD" now, in retrospect, from our positions of more knowledge and resources and countless more options. It just isn't fair. And I would be carefyl about setting that example for your own children.[/quote]
