[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 314966"] Witz... That makes sooo much sense to me. Surely, they overlap....and you are sensing one more than another. Only a doctor or licensed mental health professional can make an absolute positiver determination, but after years of exp. with- your child, you know where her tendencies are. Don't let it discourage you into believing that it will be this way forever. However, let it 'educate' you about ways in which you might protect yourself from being hurt by it. And refuse to enable her...understanding that it is possible this could worsen the situation. We walk a tight rope...protecting ourselves, but not enabling. It is a difficult thing to explain to "outsiders." husband and I had a similar discussion this morning. Anyway...love your comment... We can't really change others...we can only change ourselves. When we don't enable, hopefully that might in some certain way help our children "get" the idea that they have to help themselves. The right therapist might help to tip the balance even further...guiding them a long the path. Meanwhile...like you said, the biggest control you have is your own...over yourself and your thoughts, etc. [/QUOTE]
