[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 140570, member: 1514"] Toto... I have often wondered about the chicken and the egg thing as far as mental illness or behavior. Looking back in my family I know of some "problematic behavior" going back to my maternal grandmother. She abused my mom in some weird ways, my mom was sheer awful to me, and I truly believe that I have been at fault for some of my kids behaviors. I know I was not what most would say was a good mom for quite a bit of their lives. I said many things to them that should not have been said. My therapist believes without a shadow of a doubt that the things my mom did to me caused my borderline PD and impacted the bipolar emerging. The longer I am in therapy the more I believe her. However, by believing her, I have to admit I probably had an impact in Cory ending up with a personality disorder. I didnt mean to but it is what it is. How do docs tell things apart? I think that is difficult. Any psychiatrist who only spends a few minutes with someone monthly or quarterly isnt going to be able to see things that clearly. This is why I like therapists. My therapist knows me inside and out. Cory's did too. I could probably fool a psychiatrist if I wanted to but there is no way I could fool a therapist who sees me every week for years on end.
