[QUOTE="newstart, post: 759505, member: 22416"] Dear BusyNmember, I understand about the ODD too well. It is horrific to be around someone that is high on the ODD spectrum.. My family all got DNA tests, there is not room for prejudice, we are so mixed. I recently found out I had Jewish DNA. I had always felt at home with my Jewish friends, like I was part of that tribe. I had a best friend that died from cancer in 2000, she was Jewish, we were like sisters, we even looked a like. So wish she was here to tell her, guess her spirit knows now. I never could understand prejudice. All of us humans come from the same color spectrum, some darker, some lighter and to dislike someone because of their color is very narrow minded. Copa, The word antagonists, if perfect for explaining my daughter and her thug boyfriend. Grief givers are another word for them. My daughter is one, her boyfriend is a major one. I understand about the love, I love her deeply, and I know she loves me depending on the stage of her mania. I think the oil and water explains it perfectly. Your words ring perfect to where I am with my daughter. My husband has several people in his immediate family with bipolar. His mother, sister and brother. They are highly successful, intelligent people, successful with their high level jobs and very unsuccessful in their main relationships. In the past when they were abusive they would buy us a gift as if that would balance out their abuse. When we would call them on their abuse they would say 'well, we bought you that gift' and I would say what does that have to do with anything? We would much rather be treated with respect and kindness over anything material and we have so much stuff anyway I am always trying to downsize. It is so weird because his mom, sister and brother have always done that and now I see the pattern with my daughter. She knows that this does not work with us because I have talked about it in length with her. She tried doing that at Christmas. Abuse does not equal a gift. It is frightening to see that particular trait pass down. WTH. Thank you both for your continued input and guidance. Sending love. [/QUOTE]
