When I realized all the altruistic, honest, kindly behavior my parents taught me just wasn't cutting it on the playground.

Not much to tell, my father was in Turkey and she was in Maryland with us kids - for some reason she thought my father was having an affair from stuff he was
writing in his letters. I was the one who got to hear all the crap. And she held on to the letters until she died 'cause she thought they constituted proof
that he was unfaithful. My sister and I read the letters after she died and she blew a few innocent remarks into a full blown affair.

Something that's hard for little kids to understand is that their parents can be crazy, delusional, immature, narcissistic, etc.

Everything I ever learned as a kid was from "Free To Be You and Me".

I had never heard of Borderline Personality Disorder until recently, it's not a popularly known mental problem, but I know at least one person with it and
possibly another.

BPD is not commonly known, but it is [cough] common ... Oh ... and 5 or 6. |
