[QUOTE="Lioness, post: 653771, member: 18827"] "Please pass me the knife while your fathers back is turned" is so true! I think even Iam guilty of this by the virtue that I have cried in despair on the past to my other adult children when one of them hurts me. I just can't tell anyone else apart from my close school friend as I'am so ashamed. I have always felt a failure with my kids. They are well liked by most people as the Difficult Child my daughter with Borderline (BPD) would never, ever show this side of her to anyone outside the family. Family friends think she's wonderful because she is the nicest person with them! She's friendly, kind, polite, vivacious and funny. I want to change so badly but am finding my people pleasing is my way that I survive. It's wrong I know that now. I need to please myself a little more but have always thought it selfish. Everything you say is so right. I don't know how to thank you enough for all your support. This Sunday is Greek Easter a big affair and we have all the kids and use family friends at ours. I'm looking forward to it but it's tinged with the sadness of how she will be with me. [/QUOTE]
