[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you are right on those diagnoses plus other things. She has seen many psychiatrists in the past but I am not sure if she is still getting help. The father does seem hands-on and present and his mother is very involved in their lives, so I am hoping they can provide a lot of support too. I don't live close by. We don't talk that often but we have another sibling who is pretty close to her and lives in the same state who can also provide more support. I feel the child might really have a tough time with her as a mom. She is not very self aware or cognizant of what other people need from her. In our conversations, I keep it short because she never thinks to ask about me or how I am doing. It's always all about her and her life.

The way she remembers our childhood is genuinely disturbing because I will have been at the same event and she recalls it totally differently. I think she lost a lot of memory during electroshock therapy or her mind has dealt with things in a way to not remember or twist around what truly happened. I hope she will be okay with a lot of support.[/quote]

[b]This rewriting the narratives or denying what actually happened is common in ASD [/b]and bipolar.  Their brain literally did not record what happened or their maladaptive coping mechanisms rewrite things with them as a victim or good guy. Don’t bother trying to straighten it out or reason with them; they love an argument and it gets you the bad guy label from them no matter what. You will truly be walking on eggshells with them forever.  Detach emotionally.[/quote]

You are full of sh*t. What an ignorant and incorrect comment.

Why are you feeding this  ridiculous troll?[/quote]
