We've had her analyzed for mental illness. Three different therapists all came to the same conclusion: she is narcissistic with histrionic tendencies. They all agree she is not depressed.
For those who are critical of me, I don't mind it a bit. I don't take it personally. *shrug* I got a good backbone and decently thick skin. It's taken a year of her trying to torture us into giving her whatever she wants whenever she wants it and just plain being a mean girl for me to get to this point. If you had been here, as sensitive as you are to what I, a stranger, have said, she surely would have brought you to the brink in mere weeks.
I don't abuse my kids. Never have, never will. I don't even yell. I find effective ways of getting my point across without doing so. But I do lose my cool, and rather than lose it on them, I occasionally vent to strangers, who will never be in contact with my kids. Better that than freaking out on them or venting to a friend or family member who might get word around that could reach the kids and hurt them.
Poor choice of subject line? Maybe. I have a wiry sense of humor. Some people don't. It's all good, I'm not trying to please everyone or cater and be someone I'm not. I like me, I am a great parent, but yeah, sometimes I need to blow off some steam.
I'd encourage you to walk a mile in my shoes. This girl is Regina George from mean girls on steroids. And if it were a health issue or upbringing being hard or anything like that, maybe I'd have more sympathy. But it's none of those things. She enjoys hurting people. She loves attention. She gets off on lying and manipulating. If you were here, you'd see for yourself. But you aren't so you'll fill in the blanks on your own the way that makes you comfortable to judge.
I've refrained...really held my tongue on the worst stories. If only you knew.
