All of the following is from the book, "Children of the Self Absorbed" by Nina Brown. It's actually a workbook for adults to help them get over being the child of a narcissist. I bought it to see if it could help me figure out what is going on with SD and BM. There are 4 types of Narcissistic Parents .... I'm going to do this in 4 blogs... ! This is the first. It also has what the child's response is to each type of parent. These "classifications" and the child's responses are what really convinced DH and I about BM.

mediator tells bm kids at 11,12, and 13, revert back to how they were at the age of 3,4, and 5.

and that instead of ss throwing a fit, he will be cursing her out says "i dont have to listen to you, you fukin beotch"
she told bm that she better get a handle on disciplining her son or this is what is going to happen.

For those of you that have been around skids during both ages, is this true? Has it effected you home and relationship?

It's that time again...

Oh man...here we go again. SS5 is coming for the weekend. i always get so anxious before he comes and during his stay. i don't know what it is about him that makes me feel like that. I was going to go to my parents house this weekend but i have to stick around for at least 1 day because there is a social worker coming to observe us with him. see i just moved in with my bf. im pretty nervous about that too..i've met with her and talked with her already but i just don't like the idea that someone is coming to watch me interact with this kid and judge me for it.

IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE GETTING ANY BETTER!!!!

It has been almost 6 months since my step daughter came to live with us. Things dont seem to be improving. This child came from a home where she was left alone alot and was able to pretty much do whatever she wanted....whenever she wanted.

Now she comes here to rules, and structure, and schedules. Obviously things arent going well. All I keep hearing is "Well my mom let me do it" Do I give a shit what your mom did or didnt do!!! NO!!!!! This is MY house and MY rules!!!

Well things can only go up from here right?

What a week, already! I quit. I want to curl up in a ball and just cry untill there is nothing left of the stress and pain.
Saturday I was at my best friend's house. She lives with a 57 year old man who is like a father to her. He opened his arms to her whole family (4 kids, her fiance and herself) This says alot about charactor. Her two oldest were visiting their father at an on-suite thing at her mothers house. (He is a known user who is claiming to be clean). Her room mate came home from work early and went to bed at 630ish. By 7pm he was snoring.
