[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my dad it was number 2. Called me out of the blue and said a lot of mean things. Only in retrospect did the behavior make any sense.[/quote] Did your dad have any of these tendencies before, but just much better self-control? My mom would get really nasty on the phone and in person, but it was a worsening of behavior that already existed. She just had better controls and more people shutting it down when she was younger. She passed the screener (which I think is useless), but they did push her to get onto meds for mental health since she would not get therapy. It wasn't until I set firm boundaries, got her outside help and pulled away that she started lashing out at others and anyone cared. Until then, she could turn it on for others and seem a bit out there, but normal enough.[/quote]
