[QUOTE="Star*, post: 277103, member: 4964"] Nomad, This is a very interesting article. I'm sure that most of us if we thought hard enough could find someone to fit this description. For me it would be my x inlaws. What I think would be interesting in this case would be to take a group of people who have this disorder and find out how many of them could have or would have benfited from therapy and how many of them NOW are self-medicating and perpetuated this behavior to their own children. It reminds me of that movie with Jenifer Lopez and Jane Fonda - Mother in Law.....at the very end JF's mother in law comes in and just perpetuates the ugliness in her life at JF. Then JL says the wedding is off because this behavior IS being perpetuated with them. I thought that was the best line in that movie - to tell her - NOPE I'm not going to marry your son only to have a lifetime of bitter words with you. Had I known my own xmil was like that and been maybe a tad more mature - I never EVER would have married my x. Her martyrdom was death to so many dreams and cures because her children fashioned their lives to be similar to hers. Just sad. [/QUOTE]
