[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 276765, member: 6546"] Hmm-- Interesting. My mother is definitely "embittered"....but would not fit into this description of embittered as a mental illness because the [I]trauma[/I] component is missing. She did not suffer anything that would be considered a trauma by any definition that I know-- However, she has spent a lifetime complaining about things that her mother did to her when she was growing up: making her wash dishes, setting her curfew at 2am, forbidding her from keeping more than three pets. She still complains about these events as though they just happened yesterday AND she continues to make life decisions designed to "spite" her mother. I do feel that this is more of an obsessive-compulsive or narcissistic thing that a new disorder. Just my two cents... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
