[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 689218, member: 19905"] Totally agree, SWOT. I think my daughter's personality disorder prevents her from loving me, or anyone else - including herself. I don't think she knows what "love" is. She knows idealization but not love, although she calls her infatuations "love". She wasn't always this way. She wasn't that way as a child. The drug use pushes her ability to feel even further away. They say if you can't love yourself, you cannot love another. And my daughter is full of self-loathing. I hate this for her - to not know the joy and vulnerability and trust of love. Copa, I believe that is also why my daughter uses. It is the only time she feels like other people, and with other drug users, her erratic, impulsive, explosive behavior doesn't stand out. It is the only way she feels she can "fit in." [/QUOTE]
