[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 701620, member: 1550"] Madonna, I'm sorry. Cluster B personality disorders are hard for loved ones to deal with. Many of our females who are difficult have them. Some of the men are narcissists and antisocials. I think my son is. They don't think there is anything wrong with them and they don't change. We have to change and not allow them to abuse u.s and manipulate us with their words and deeds. If we don't they will eat is up alive. All we can do is to set strong boundaries, stick to them and refuse to listen to them when they throw toddler tantrums. That can include periods of no contact. It is not easy. We don't want to think of our children as not nice. But cluster B is rough. Those who have these personality disorders are not nice and rarely go for intensive therapy to try to change. Instead they point fingers. I know my son does. And if I let him get away with any bad behavior toward me, I am asking him to step all over me. He is more decent if I crack the whip and don't talk to him unless he is respectful. He doesn't last as respectful of course, but then I have to crack the whip and withdraw again. It doesn't end. But I won't let him treat me like dirt. My other kids are not happy with him. It's sad. [/QUOTE]
