[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 62287, member: 3450"] Hi, this is not a big thing but it is bothering me so thought I'd come here and tell you all about it. As you may remember, my difficult child 1 is an exotic dancer but doesn't know that I know (I found out from her sister). Okay, I don't really care about that, she is supporting herself and can do what she wants. But I found out today (long story, not worth going into) that she is using the stage name Molly, which is her sister's name! She has a strange relationship with Molly--was very jealous of her when she was born and was physically and emotionally abusive to her when they were young. Molly developed a dissociative disorder as a way of coping and now is having to "unlearn" those coping methods in order to function in a normal way. Last summer Emily got a tattoo when she turned 18 and it Molly's name, tattooed on her wrist. That bothered Molly somewhat--and I thought it was weird--feels like it is a way to still have control over Molly. Now she is using her name, gives me the same sick kind of feeling. The good thing is I don't think Molly knows about it and I sure hope she doesn't find out. I'm sure it would feel very invasive to her and also embarrassing since she finds what her sister does to be disgusting. There's nothing I can do but I do see that Emily is still crossing boundaries and still has some sort of unhealthy thing about Molly. It is very much a love/hate thing, always has been. Thanks for listening! Jane [/QUOTE]
