| I tried to breastfeed all three of my kids and I quit producing breast milk despite the supplements and pumping. I never had enough in the first place but dried up within two or three weeks. I don't know if you feel comfortable saying this to the Plunkett nurses but what if you made it sound as if y... |

| I'm married to an NT husband (though not typical in that he has borderline personality disorder) and my two daughters and son are all ASD. My first husband was NT and my oldest daughter (his child) has the most severe symptoms. I think my dad is an Aspie. My mother has narcissistic personality disor... |

| The last thing anyone would say is that I was a cold mother. I'm very affectionate with my children. That said, I don't want to be touched by anyone else, except them or my husband. With people I'm attached to I'm very warm. Interesting too, is that I was a vet tech myself but felt bad for the peopl... |

| I generally do not like other kids much until they hit Jr High age. I tolerate my twins friends though, I'm nice, I want kids to be at my house rather than elsewhere. I have a neighbor I trust, but other than that, my PTSD makes it difficult for me to leave my kids at someone else's house.I'm not a ... |

| I can do makeup well, but most of the time, I just can't be bothered. Dressing up and looking nice aren't things I do often anymore. If I'm feeling happy I'll be more likely to put makeup on. When I'm unhappy, I don't even care to shower or brush my hair. If I leave home though, I'll at least look l... |

| I am a very attractive woman, used to get a lot of attention and couldn't read people, so I often attracted the wrong type. Burping and farting a lot in front of them has worked. I'm a really crude person (not in public) which is a real turn-off for some guys. I was raised by a horrible woman that m... |

| I was a vet tech until I had my first kid. The longest I held a job was 3 years for a very explosive, abusive, boss. My upbringing was similar, so I didn't realize how bad it was until the day I walked out. Most vets only had a few employees and I've worked for large, small, exotic and marine. I alw... |

| I'm good in the sense that once I learn a person I'm very in tune with them. I'm very empathetic to my kids, always on their side and learned from my mother how NOT to parent. She is a narcissist I have no contact with. However, since I remember everything that happened to me, I can use those things... |

| Camping out in the open in the woods, bent over a rock on a secluded beach, on top of a playground (2am, no kids or anyone else around), stairwell of a closed bar, in my bedroom when I was 17 with the door open and my mom and brother in the living room. Only time I ever got caught was in a parked ca... |

I'm married to my husband of 8 years and I think he might have some traits as well. I live in a place (wouldn't be wise t... |

Understanding their screwed up behavior and understanding the emotional abuse tactics they use helped me. I was raised by a narcissist and had I not been able t... |
