Tumeric is supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties, so with rheumatoid arthritis I hear that one all the time (although you’d have to have a shit ton of it and it would still be less effective than ibuprofen...which doesn’t remotely help with RA pain). It makes me want to scream.

Srry- bsy w/patient tlk l8r?

That is awesome. Where did you find that?

Aaaaaaaaaaand a Facebook friend just posted this seconds ago: http://www.safeminds.org/blog/2015/01/2…

Now I have to un-friend him because I will not be part of this shitshow, even passively. Ugh.

Would this woman deny her child rabies shots if he was bitten by a rabid dog?

Wow

Welp, there goes all pretense of working today.

I hope that you are okay now. I know what it's like to deal with an abusive parent, and I have experience in the realm of parents having these crazy alternate fantasy lives, too.

Or maybe the nonprofit she runs has the answers. http://estrangedstories.ning.com/

Maybe she covers WHAT IS IN THAT EMAIL in this 59 minute presentation she gave on this topic...

AHHHH!!! This lady makes me want to tear my hair out. I wish I couldn't relate.

The fat-shaming bit—a bit of a narcissism giveaway.

Very true. As Narcissists see everyone as tools to supply them with praise/services/self-esteem they rarely cut people out of their lives. They grab onto "relationships" and will suck them dry of every last ounce of "Narcissistic Supply." The only time they do cut people off is when they realize the jig is up and…

Check out the survey on Vagnosi's site for adult children estranged from parents. http://www.esurveyspro.com/Survey.aspx?id… Yeah, it's not slanted at all. Sample question:

To all others with parents as abusive as I had:

Diffuse boundaries. Enmeshment. Disoriented hierarchy. I needed these words years ago!!

The most amazing thing about this article are the stories in the comments. I am yet another adult child of super toxic boomers who had to cut them off. And as much as I hate how much suffering these stories represent, I am so happy to not be alone in this. And I am so proud of each and every person that was able to…

We boomers were the first generation with parents who were ultra-concerned about making sure their children had a "better" childhood than they had.

I was thinking that about her story as well as the trend she says she observed in the boomers. Being too lazy to google any of the woman's work, I wonder if she actually interviewed the family members who cut off the parents or is she jumping to the conclusion that the kids are narcissists based solely on the story…

Her entire argument is totally meaningless without the other side of the story. I seriously doubt her children just woke up one morning and decided to cut her out of their lives. Unless she explains why they cut her off it's all just a lot of mindless jabbering.
