[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 321469, member: 1514"] The reason that abuse survivors/victims can have ptsd and not be borderline and then someone like me can have the abuse and have ptsd plus be borderline is because not only did I suffer the abuse but I was also completely invalidated. I was abused plus my parents...particularly the one who was abusing me kept telling me this was my fault and it wasnt happening, I was imagining things, I was wrong, I wasnt seeing things clearly. It was like telling me something was red when in reality it was blue and the rest of the world saw it as blue so when I went out in public others called it blue but I thought it was red and they looked at me funny when I called it red. Then when I would question mommy dearest she would tell me I was lying that she ever told me it was red! Make sense? That would drive a person crazy, especially if it happened over and over again, over every little thing. Especially when it came to emotional things. Your stupid, I wish you had never been born, oh I always wanted you, no I didnt, I wanted a boy, no I love little girls, I had a tumor when I had you, I wonder which I brought home-the tumor or the baby because you are stupid! Over and over again this stuff was drilled into me. [/QUOTE]
