[quote=Anonymous]Therapist PP here. Two things:

1. I always tell my clients that "it's not your fault that you ended up with a Cluster B personality disorder, but it is your responsibility to resolve it." I am very careful to entirely place agency on my clients to resolve their issues.

2. The fact that you're cursing me out and becoming so angry at me over a post where you didn't even read the entire comment is, well, in clinical terms, a failure to effectively sublimate anger (which is common of many Axis 2 disorders).

Is it really any surprise that parents who are unwilling (and, in most cases, resent) admitting their fault in raising adult children with failure to launch issues end up with kids who similarly are unwilling and resentful of taking responsibility for their actions? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree here. I suspect, PP, that my post resonated too closely to your situation (maybe you have adult children of your own who are failure to launch, or maybe one of your siblings is a FTL case, or a close family friend...) and the intense anger and rage you're seething with over an anonymous poster whose comment you couldn't even be bothered to fully read is indicative of a sense of internal shame you've absorbed.

THIS ^^^^^^
