[QUOTE="witzend, post: 314110, member: 99"] I started to type something out, and got quite far. Then I blipped it into the ether. :mad: I think it helps if you don't question the "why" of it. Maybe they're born with it, and maybe they grow into it with repetitive episodes throughout their lives. But the "personality" part is just that. It is in fact a part of their personality, the very stuff that they are. They're not likely going to want to change it any more than a person who is cheerful will want to change their personality. That would invalidate them. Unfortunately, it's also a "disorder". I think of it moreso in the lines of a disordered (unwanted, unpleasat, etc.) personality rather than a personality disorder. I guess what I'm saying is that maybe your daughter [I]has[/I] chosen these behaviors, but she's not choosing anymore. It's part of what she is. [/QUOTE]
