[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 644608, member: 14557"] Glad to hear that that situation doesn't seem to be quite that serious and more about made up drama and your daughter's need for that. Examples I mentioned are truly morbid and even more terrifying because these people in many perspective seemed rather normal. People knew there were issues, but I mean, who hasn't? And who isn't close to someone who has more serious issues? And you never expect anything like that. One more thing to ask following this line (and no, you really don't need to answer us but maybe just think about it and if needed, talk with your husband): Does your daughter's ex-husband, who seems to be more stable parent, have a safe way out with the kids, if he feels like he needs that? Police doesn't always take domestic complaints made my men and against women too seriously and domestic violence establishment is more made to serve women. Does he has place to go and take the kids, if he gets too worried and your daughter's issues start to get worse or are getting too much for him? Do you have a relationship with him where you could talk with him or provide advice on what he could do in that kind of situation? Or simply give a promise of paying a motel room for him and kids, if it just gets too much? (Or would that make you prone to be used by him?) Ouch! And this is a reason, why I tend to have an issue against people flailing home-made personality disorder diagnosis against anyone, especially in any way publicly. Even when it is pure bs, people tend to think that "well, then there is smoke..." It would seem somehow much more fair to call other people difficult characteristics and challenging behaviours mostly just that, if competent professional who has met the patient hasn't given a personality disorder diagnose. Or at most just say that this person at times behaves in the way that brings something to your mind or something like that. While I do get that it feels liberating to find out these diagnosis exist and people who have caused you troubles is well described in books concerning it at least in some ways, calling someone personality disordered (if they have not been diagnosed and can be recognized) is rather cheap trick.
