[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 403108, member: 6546"] Erbaledge-- My daughter has been diagnosed with "emerging Borderline Personality Disorder" and what you are describing sounds familiar... The one-upmanship thing? UGH! My home life is worse than yours because.... O yeah? Well MY life is worse because... And some of the things she comes up with are so completely ridiculous that she gets others "playing along" with even crazier stories of their own. She's told folks we've dragged her to crazy church people to perform exorcisms on her... We keep her locked in a closet and beat her with chains... Her Dad once beat her so badly she nearly died... She overdosed on painkillers (more than once mind you) and had to attend rehab... We like to inflict punishments and abuse her even though she never does anything wrong... She is like a slave in our household and has TONS of chores to do... and (my personal favorite) We don't ever buy her any ice cream. Docs usually listen with a very sympathetic ear....smile, nod...and then ask me about the "real" story later. For the ice cream? I just had to laugh because number one - there's ice cream in our freezer as we speak and number two - that's it? That's the worst "abuse" you can think of? No ice cream? Wow! She really IS suffering! [/QUOTE]
