[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 619402, member: 13542"] [I]"difficult child daughter was so offended to have been considered a beggar. She had never seen her actions in that light, before." [/I] Oh my. Oh my. I'm with Echo, did you ask her how she [I]did[/I] perceive it? I am totally interested in how she would respond to that question, just to know how her mind is clicking in. Wow. I've heard my daughter say similar things...........I believe it is some misfiring of the brain that doesn't allow her to see herself in any kind of light of reality............I saw that in my brother and my Dad too.......it's like a disconnect when one looks in the internal mirror...........what they see is not what we see. That is the one thing that really helps me with judgment............I don't know what goes on inside their brains that skewers thinking in such a fashion that it appears warped to us, but to them it is reality. If what the Buddhist say about reality being an illusion is true, then whose illusion is real? Just food for thought..........even though I (usually) can see and not judge my difficult child's reality, it is clearly a reality I cannot be a part of, that is the choice I have to make for me...........but I can still ponder and be fascinated by what it is that she and your daughter actually, really see and believe to be reality.
