Yes. This is too perfect to exist yet, but I wish it would. Also: Belle as Daphne, you'd hardly have to change a thing. :D

I know, right? Usually I'm more a fan of green or grey eyes than brown, but her eyes are gorgeous.

No, I never said that the two weren't connected. I am TRYING to make you understand that the point I have been making all along is that someone with BPD IS more likely to self harm than harm others. Everything about emotional abuse came AFTER that post, and had not a single fucking thing to do with it, and aside from

How many times has she beat you bloody? Cut you up? Tried to kill you? I am talking about PHYSICAL HARM. Not emotional abuse. And I maintain the point.

Nice snark about not expecting an apology in the other comment when I'm outright called an idiot here, the only name calling actually done in this exchange, of course. But nevermind that. Who are you to think that your lived experience as someone outside of someone else's head trumps the education given to the people

No one is speaking over anyone. I am 1 maths credit from being a practicing psychologist, and you saying that I have no knowledge, no experience, and no right, to speak with that authority, is frankly bullshit. Unless of course, you think that the lived -third party- experience of someone who was a child of someone

I'm not relying on accounts from anyone with BPD for the information I'm dealing in here. This all comes from psychological studies and various case files. It's not my own personal story or evidence, though I do have one, which I tried to share and was accused of trying to garner pity with (when I thought it was

I was extremely angry when I read this, and spent a good hour typing up an annoyed diatribe about how wrong you are about everything you have inferred from what I wrote instead of just READING what I wrote, but I keep coming back to that first line and, frankly... fuck you, it doesn't matter how long I spend talking,

Definitely in agreement with you on this. I don't think that we only have 1 soul mate, I also don't think that all soul-deep connections have to be romantic. I think you can have any number of soul mates, that they will always be people who you truly love, and that your soul is bound to come across. I also don't think

Actually you misread all of it if you're even beginning to get out of it that I am 'letting anyone know how awful it was for me'. I'm not. I was relaying the fact that I've been in the position that people are so quick to call 'the victim', and I call bullshit. It's different if you're a kid and you can't escape an

bahahaha, I noticed you again here, have seen a few of your other comments over the months, you almost always make me giggle. :D

I would imagine it's actually a significant amount, given my OWN experience as a "victim" of this. Sorry, but someone who has been raped is a victim. A kid who can't get away from a mentally unstable parent is a victim. But any grown ass person who stays willingly in a situation like that deserves whatever fallout

No, you're paraphrasing what I said into something that YOU are saying. I said exactly what the fuck I said. Every word, and not a word I didn't say. What you choose to infer in your reading is your own choice. Everyone is equal and no one is any more, or less, important than anyone else.

Thanks for the write up. I actually dream of moving to Colorado or Washington and starting my own operation, though getting started seems impossible for someone with 0 funding or any way I know of to go about it. Maybe this will help. :D

No one said you can't. I even went into detail about the three years I lived with someone who actually HAD bpd and was on the receiving end of that. It is NOT victim blaming to say that if you dislike something enough, you change it. I was dealing with it, day in and day out from someone who had BPD, so I left, even

I'm not saying that no one is emotionally abused. I'm saying that emotional abuse is something that happens constantly. This girl in middle school with me spread a rumor that I fucked my mother with a tampon. It was so pervasive, and ruined my life so badly, that I moved out of state to attend high school. 10 years

It's not a personal observation, if you read the conversation with memeandering, there is a post with reputable statistics and studies. Saying all thumbs are fingers is not the same thing as saying all fingers are thumbs. The fact of the matter is (and if you look it up for yourself, it IS an indisputable fact), the

How's five years of formal education on the subject (during which I maintained a position at the top of my class)? I never said people with bpd didn't abuse anyone emotionally, again, I defy you to find me someone who doesn't think their family fucked them up emotionally. How much of a threat is it, though, when there

YES. I love holding the door open for others, AND having it held open for me, and I think it's something everyone should do for everyone else more often. Not because the other person is incapable of it, but because it is a show of thoughtfulness, kindness, respect, and the world is lacking in those.
