[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the aggression? I was offering insight. You are very defensive! My guesses are:

[b]You have poor relationship with your adult children
You have been told you have a PD
You've been told you are toxic before[/b]

Otherwise, what's your preoccupation with defending the bad moms who hurt their children? With dismissing the experiences of those who have suffered those bad moms? [/quote]

Nope to all. I have little kids. I am for all purposes an attachment parent. I love my mom.

I would never dismiss a victim of abuse, be it verbal, neglect, or any other type of abuse. I would defend a "bad mom" who got frustrated a lot or didn't love being a mom and was essentially without options from being labeled with BPD.  [/quote]

Ok. Do you have any personal experiences that color this?

What basis do you have in believing that moms are being mislabeled, and that it is a trend?

Having  PD parent is different from having an imperfect one. It is really useful to children of PDs when they finally learn about it - helps make sense of confusing lives.

You said posters were "juvenile" for "blaming their moms."

But that is not what was going on in this thread.

You seem to have an overconcern with moms being mislabeled (which is not a thing) to the point of being dismissive of people who are hurting and having parenting struggles due to being raised by a PD (which is totally a thing, apparently books have been written).

Dismissing victims is something toxic people do. I gotta wonder what your connection to this is.[/quote]
