[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652440, member: 1550"] Cedar and Lucy, I think our Difficult Child (some of whom are mothers, fathers, aunts, sisters too etc.) know how to cause trouble, but there is a spectrum of insight within this group of people. Some have tremendous insight and can steal money from under you (I wonder where 2Much is too. She has such good insight herself). On the other end of the spectrum is the non-perceptive borderline/narcissistic/antisocial. They try to cause trouble, but fail because they don't think of all the angles. "If I tell Lucy about Brother...she may tell him. Maybe I should just tell Brother how horrible Lucy is...and see if I can get anywhere because the last thing I want is them finding me out." Lower functioning: 'Tee hee. I'll turn Lucy against Brother and Brother against Lucy by saying bad things about them to each other." My mother did a GREAT job of turning my family against me. Your mother is not doing a great job of her dirty deeds. Consider yourself blessed that she is clueless. Cedar, I dealt with my family like you, yet not like you. I was very negative myself and just wanted out, but not before I tried...not before I got Mom to be nice to Sis and not focus only only her Boyfriend like a stupid teenager and I wanted to get Mom to be nice. Instead she turned on me big time and so did Sis. I saw the truth of my family though. I didn't fool myself. I just didn't have it all figured out. I did not know I was the scape goat and I cared too much what these people thought. "You're selfish." I was and am many things, some good, some bad, some neutral. Selfish is not one of them. It never was. Yet everyone in my family of origin said I was. I knew I wasn't, which drove me crazy. If they wanted to harp on a negative trait of mine, why didn't they pick a trait that was really ME? Don't let the crazy drive you crazy. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
