Mostly, British people think very bad thoughts of you if you're rich or wealthy. Terrible culture in that regard! We should always aim higher. Do we talk about money? My partner's family does. In the past, I've found it very painful when my partner asks me if I'm going to make more money and when. My family's never had much. Everyone seems to struggle.

    You're correct the day I found out my younger daughter took her life was like having a knife shoved into my chest and for months I couldn't. Even take a deep breath you're correct it change everything. I had my daughter for 32 years and 3 older kids. It changed the look on my older children's faces their eyes the sadness because they were around her for 32 years. Also she was married and we had absolutely no idea she was suffering from the amount of depression and anxiety that she had been we found out everything after her death. Just for about a year husband says she was struggling. hes a very quiet sort of guy and they were both very private and knowing my daughter. She would never have wanted us to know that she was contemplating suicide. She planned her death early December and I saw her twice in November of 2019 and Christmas Eve. 2019 and I noticed immediately a peace about her. And the sweetness that was coming out of my most contentious daughter and I thought about it. But I didn't think that's 3 months later she would be dead. She called me the day before and I'm gonna say I can't and remember half the conversation said goodbye or if you said I love. You II did say I love her but II don't call her saying that back to me. AI don't know if some of those things have blocked out. It was just the birtstay month year and 3 years on my entire lit has changed me as a person and actually enough for the best if it. Wasn't for my 3 older children? I wouldn't be here. I'd really didn't think I was going to survive her killing ourselves because it was. So unbelievable I can't even tell you how unbelievable and how much in denial it was for such a long time. Talking about orchid doughnuts and I wished that we were able to help other people but she had taken poison and she had been dead for hours before her. Calendar so there wouldn't have been anything nothing was alive inside of her. So she would not have been able to donate but it was right at the beginning of covid and we were in New Jersey's and she lived in P. A so we saw her at the funeral home. I got to kiss her goodbye and we had a cremated. We sent her home with her husband and then 6 months later it's September of 2020. We finally had her memorial where all of her aunt's Uncle's cousins came from all over friends with college. We're hiking friends or climbing friends. It took everybody by surprise. I wonder still if it took her husband that much wise surprise but it must have he a public number of believed her threats and he literally looked so. Catatonic that month that we were with him and then for 6 months and now I haven't spoken to. I'm for probably since Thanksgiving and that's OK. He's got to move on he sold his home he couldn't stay there. It changed everybody's life. I mean it the ripple effect of suicide and especially a grown adult woman. Who has so many friends have touched so many lives with her smile and she never thought that she was good enough and she was a failure. And I know this place. And I know this because she did leave 7 letters to her husband and he shared them with us. Then we did a whole bunch of investigating and looking at all her paperwork and her tool their sisters ripped apart her room her office in her house and got as much information as they could but it didn't really matter that the coroner knew just by looking at her. I'm not what that he knew what she took. And it's a very common thing for kids young kids to go to. These suicide sanctions sites and get instructions? For sod. In my? Track. I don't know do I feel blessed that she didn't harm her body. She was the 1st thing I asked the coroner when we got there. I said she didn't hurt herself did what a stupid? Question to ask. She was dead but I was asking him if she could know her she wouldn't have done whatever II go over these things every night and I read. About suicide survivors and parents and siblings and all of our stories sound exactly alike that the pain is always there the sadness is always there. Yes the low dips have gotten not as often now that we've passed 3 year mark but she's so missed and my condolences of course to. You and your family for losing your son? I'm just so glad none of us found her that it was her husband I can't imagine the pain that you guys went through. When you when parents find their own Child. I only can imagine what her husband told us what he saw and told us what he called 911 and they pronounced her at the house. And well now I have her ashes and I kissed her don't know what else to say to her.

    Not an easy thing she pulled off. Props to her for that. To me, her willingness to say the n-word (narcissism) is evidence she knows what's up. Compulsions (habitual involuntary behaviors) relieve (distract from) obsessions (unconscious anxieties). Even though narcissism's not typically thought of as such, in light of the aforementioned one sees objectionable narcissistic behaviors are defensive compulsions. I would also point out that they have this in common with autistic (anxious attachment) and ADHD (avoidant attachment) "stimming" behaviors as well. ADHD stims tend to be more impulsive (semivoluntary) than compulsive but both externalize dysregulation. AAMOF the 12-step recovery model actually relieves addiction by treating narcissism. Think not? Steps four and five are about self-examination while steps eight and nine are about accountability--both of which are workarounds to narcissistic behavior that have nothing to do with directly treating addiction. Why? Addiction can't be treated directly. No compulsion can. Self-selection of sponsorship and the frequent inability to stick with the sponsor one chose for oneself speaks to the narcissistic inability to take direction (reframed as "growth") and the integration of a higher power concept (feigned submission to authority) are troublesome. Monotheistic god = copout of too little conscience and too much ego (imaginary guaranteed third-party forgiveness). Narcissism submits to no authority but itself, as the fabrication of one's own imaginary supernatural pseudoauthority could hardly articulate any clearer. Yes I know some people claim to make "the group" their HP. That is a masterful self-deception. Handing out chip tokens for every made-up milestone, applause for every little thing, creepy phony hugs, and the inability to agree on or tolerate leadership "lest problems of money or prestige divert [them] from [their] primary purpose" make it clear they're not treating addiction...they're demanding abstinence in exchange for (narcissistic) supply. Addiction isn't a primary disease but AA treats it that way IN ORDER TO VILIFY THE SUBSTANCE OR BEHAVIOR. That's not accountability (which I'm not even suggesting belongs entirely to the "addict"). Sadly, compulsive behavior is probably only a chronic condition insofar as it persists untreated by psychoanalytic transference. IDK for sure as I haven't had psychoanalysis, but I learned it's pointless to work on an obsession that's still being inflicted. Any inheritor subject to systematic Injustice (family scapegoating) needs autonomy more than therapy. My paternal aunt and uncle booby-trapped my half-brother and me by conspiring with our family accountant to draft a will that upon our father's death established non-reciprocal testamentary trusts (he's my contingent residuary beneficiary and trustee but I'm not his) that make the stupid little punk think my death is a payday for him rather than the theft of our mineral resources from us both. No, neither of us have kids, and while I can't speak for him I already would have left my half of our father's third of our grandfather's farm to our cousins' children. Uncle also has no kids but Uncle and Aunt take their unresolved resentment at our father for being our grandfather's favorite out in this way apparently. Shockingly, though our cousins always had much better lives growing up, their mother managed to convince them it was the other way around. I don't know why they can't figure out we were always at their house because that's where it was good because man I'm not fucking kidding you growing up my payday babytrapping mothermasked shapeshifting succubus' house was furnished with stolen office supplies. Yes really. Despite the fact that I'm the only one left now who has ever worked in oil and gas and would never have chosen to liquidate our share of that family enterprise as the trusts direct it seems taking them from us rather than allowing us to bequeath them is necessary to support what I presume is their family lie (that we are horrible and greedy). Projection much? LOL. To be fair they are at least half right but they're 100% blind to not see they spot it 'cause they got it too. I'll never be told if the intention was to sell at the non-revenue appraisal amount used for the estate return because I of course spoke up and told them I saw what they were up to and got no reply. The will has an in terrorem clause and the jurisdictional unpredictability of those scared me away from challenging it. I put it in front of no fewer than four trusts and estates attorneys who did not discover what I did after two weekends tutoring myself in law: I don't have to wait to sue for fraudulent conveyance. The nonreciprocal presence of my uncle's foundation as alternate residuary beneficiary demonstrates intentional tortious interference by way of standing to prevent distribution amendment or dissolution as well as positioning them as a non-pecuniary beneficiary with a right to stay informed. The attorney who drafted it had the probate forms signed by a retired judge (away from the prying eyes of the other judges and concern about re-election). My brother immediately throttled back distributions in an attempt to build capital I could not inherit. I got that fixed but he doesn't understand how they are still using his greed to play us both. Dad only even bribed him with favoritism in a last will and tantrum because I stood my ground when it became clear he wasn't going to apologize for some unspeakably abusive shit he said to me. In other words my brother was already ignoring him so when I was no longer there to pay attention to him my brother only picked up the slack because he was bought off. The internalization of emotional dysregulation is ego decompensation. All defensive psychological strategies are (at their cores) fundamentally dissociative. Self-directed harm therefore is still an externalization by way of being directed at the split-off "bad" (persecutory) self, right? I could be wrong about that but as I understand (or misunderstand) it psychology uses the term dissociation only to refer to internalized dysregulation (because it causes ego decompensation). On consideration one even realizes schizophreniform decompensation is essentially just Stockholm syndrome in reverse, too. All of this is consistent with externalization being more adaptive than introspection... which to me is disturbing AF. I should also point out that footstep-following is how kids whose own interests we're dismissed flatter self-absorbed parents for approval and that as a junior being someone else's Mini-Me is an unwinnable proposition akin to being forced to enjoy cards then only dealt losing hands. People who can think of no better name for their kid than their own are buffoons IMO. It is the demonstrated pathology of families like these to offer up the truth-teller as the IP (identified patient). They do this by literally driving you crazy and isolating you. SILENCE PRETENDS IT'S THE VICTIM WHILE BEING THE UNIVERSAL EXTRAJUDICIAL ADMISSION OF GUILT, DUH. Relationships and IQ are the two most frequently-cited resiliency buffers in mental health, so you damn sure better be smart because you're most def gonna be lonely. And that only makes you more vulnerable to additional betrayal (which speaks to the need of smarts). Dad lived in Texas over 30 years yet the Texas probate was the ancillary proceeding because of course the fraud is being conducted in proximity to the asset it's looting (Louisiana mineral rights). For obvious reasons I have trust issues (no pun) but at this point it doesn't seem like it would be too bright to rely on any probate attorney in that state. Middle cousin is a state district court appellate judge. That state and my family are so goddamn corrupt. The only reason Louisiana isn't an insult to lots of other corrupt places must be because the cajun influence obfuscates obvious comparisons. It seems obvious to me estate attorney (an oil and gas attorney, no less) and trustee (family accountant I mentioned) can't wait for the billing bonanza defending Uncle's foundation when our minerals are liquidated to it. Aunt and cousins are foundation's beneficiaries. I've pointed out to Aunt Uncle and cousins (and now my brother too) that Uncle (as the influential client) set them up to be sued upon his death (presumably that's the date until when they've postponed liquidation) just as duplicitously as they put him up to doublecrossing us. All this despite the fact that I did the work which got the lease bonus that bought Aunt her vacation home. Turns out Dad took credit (naturally) but I don't think it would have made any difference as the charter date of that foundation as indicated in my father's will was five years before that. I just remember my aunt saying she was going to suggest a foundation to our uncle so that we wouldn't have to partner with strangers. I thought that was a bit pushy of her and assumed he would just tell her he had not asked for her advice, but as it turned out she was just testmarketing my reaction to what she'd already done years before. In Louisiana you can petition for an annulment of testament upon discovery of additional property. Our father's last ex-wife is concealing possession of a significant work of art for which she does not have supporting divorce decree documentation. I figured out Dad knew he'd been had but didn't expect her to come back asking for the much less valuable one she'd loaned him in exchange when the Nassau County Museum of Art called asking to borrow the other one "again". The last time it sold was at Sotheby's in 1993 when they bought it

I'm unsure if the continuation posted as a reply to my own comment but this is what taking a hint and wrapping it up looks like when you've been so long-unheard. Can you refer me to a probate attorney who will work in Louisiana pro hac vice to dissolve my trust and another one we share (since apparently my brother does not want to work together despite only being able to further harm us both or himself on his own) and collect any recoverable damages from fiduciaries (settlement beats judgment as they'll just declare bankruptcy) and my uncle's foundation? Thanks in advance for any input

    Proof adversity reveals character as much as it builds it. Psychiatry can use more well-grounded physicians like this one

    "Dark at 4 p.m." brought me right back there. I remember my wet hair would freeze on the short walk from practice to the dining hall too. I started at one of those junior boarding schools he mentioned. I believed it was a privilege to be there though didn't yet realize it was the best thing that could've happened to me (as opposed to better that apparently couldn't and worse that thankfully didn't). What a cool job this guy has. We didn't have texting, but what I would've given for somebody to ask what word struck me out when I finally lost a spelling bee. I only even realized it had been a big deal to win them in prior years because the auditorium gasped when I lost. I hadn't thought to ask for the definition or for a context example because no one had ever practiced with me, so dorkus that I was spelled precipice 'pressypus' because I'd maybe read but never heard that word. Guess I'm an aural learner. IDK why I would imagine any of the others had someone practicing with them either but it's just so wrong. My parents didn't say anything whether I won or lost and never mentioned having the highest yearly class grade three times in two different subjects in 8th and 9th grades. Of course that caused me to lose interest in my studies. Turned out he was bragging behind my back about it but neither one encouraged me. The good grades contradicted DemonUterus' efforts to portray me as her disobedient problem DaddyDickest needed to send away. Dumbass was too selfish to even betray me right (as if the good grades he presumably wanted to keep stealing credit for happened in a vacuum) so yup together they shut that down too soon enough. Jealous narcissistic parents are morally enfeebled Munchausen proxymaking POSs whose kids desperately need an advocate like this guy. Teenagers don't know what they need and he can't give them what they want so it's probably pretty thankless ... but it's SO NOT USELESS. I can imagine the thought process is that their parents pay him to touch base so they're not interested, and of course at that age we know so much more than we will later .IDK what the answer is, but it would've made a shit ton of difference if someone who could see what was likely wrong with them had somehow made me aware that trainwreck parents don't send their kids memos about what kind of parents they've been born to and that AAMOF parents with criminality to hide do exactly what mine did to kids who are brighter than them to prevent us from seeing through them. The doublebind need to continue being able to afford for the truth to set one free presents an obvious impediment but he is in a unique position to be a buffer between parents who want to ship kids off and the kids from whose marrow they don't want to withdraw their fangs. Narcissistic parents DO NOT WANT TO LOOK BAD (and will drop you if you inflict the narcissistic injury of implying that they do) but it's a punk-ass weak ass bitch-ass petty-ass suggestible-as-hell vulnerability to someone who does have their ear (hint,hint). Maybe point a dad like I had to the story of Elon Musk and aerospace engineer Mike Davis he'd set up to fail then of course devalued when he managed to succeed anyway. LOL hope Davis eventually realized how beautifully that backfired on Musk when his wittle ego got a boo-boo from Davis just minding his own business.

    Genetic? 🙄 The genome has been sequenced for a dozen years. Behavioral heritability within families of course appears "genetic".

    It would be of great help if you get the Proffesor to talk about the dynamicas in a relationship where one of the partners shows strong behaviour and reactions as in BPD patterns, and how to deal with the effect on the own siblings. Thank you.

    BPD is also a symptom of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)- organic brain damage caused by mum's drinking alcohol in pregnancy. Other symptoms of FASD include; ASD, ADHD, Learning disabilities and over 400 other co-morbidities. It would be great if you could cover FASD on your channel. There needs to be a public health campaign alerting mothers to the dangers of drinking alcohol when planning a pregnancy and when pregnant.
