[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 728716, member: 1550"] Laker you actually helped me very much. I always wondered how my family of origin could think they were normal. Maybe my insight scared them because my dad, my mother, my uncle, and my sister all had mental health issues that we're pretty severe, but they refused to get help or they didn't know they needed it. I am grateful I knew....for me, things turned around. I can't speak for them....we were separated forfdecades, minus sister. But they were not normal yet they thought they were. I am sure my sister still believes she was the "normal" one and it is not true at all. Thank you for explaining (you and RE) that the mentally unhealthy may truly not know it. It makes my childhood and family life with DNA relatives make more sense. I think this was the biggest problem. They thought they were normal. They were clueless about their own personality disorders and other mental illnesses. So blame the one who figured out that she and the entire unit was sick. Makes sense. [/QUOTE]
