[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is still healing. Her anger is indicative that she is in place of blame. When healing begins there is anger and also compassion, forgiveness (for self and others). She is on her way and I hope she continues but it sounds like she is barely 1/2 way through the storm. Give her time. Maybe a few more years. In the meantime focus on self care, compassion with boundaries, and same for you partner. [/quote]

Healing from what? Having an imperfect childhood? Her therapist should be setting her straight, letting her know where her childhood falls on a scale of other childhood stories she's heard. Instead the therapist is taking her money and letting the DD think she comes from a seriously messed up childhood to justify the therapy.

Your DD sounds a bit emotionally ill, if not mentally ill, OP. Have you considered that? The childhood you gave her would have been enough for a healthy person.[/quote]

I'm this PP again. It sounds like your DD doesn't think she's good enough as she is, and has to make things up to "add value" to herself so she can get the attention she needs. This is a slipper slope. It's not healthy. She will end up a total fake, stuck in a life of life. I've known people like that. Are they sociopaths? Borderline Personality Disorder? Who knows, but they are not genuine people. When the lies hit the fan, someone ends up in deep trouble.[/quote]
