Argusina:
I'm really not an expert - but from what I've understood Ns are more "stable" than borderlines, as long as they can keep their egos inflated. When they can't, they rage etc. Suicide threats are not so common according to the texts I've read.... but on the other hand does it matter? The Pd people I've been involved in have had a pinch of many disorders  :(  They are in plain language seriously messed up.

And... "It always feels the same on the receiving end..."

Take care & my thoughts ae w you!

'Because my brothers are better at emotionally divorcing themselves from her than I am, my work is three-fold, if they don’t visit its my fault, if she feels down its me she rings not them, if she’s suicidal, drunk, feeling aggressive, its me who gets the call. She blames me for her life, and for the fact my brothers aren’t close to her. They also get abuse which is why they don’t visit much.'

there is a lot more pressure on women to undertake 'caretaker' roles and chores and visiting and to accept abuse. I often feel that as well as being abused on the personal level it's on the social level too: the sexist unequal treatment of women through attitudes and social norms.

MissT:
I feel thats very much the case, I actually asked her why she rings me and not my two brothers and she says because your female and females care more then men. How ridiculas can one person sound? As well her self absorbtion I have to battle her narrow minded, victorian view of life.

They also stand upto her and slam the phone down/walk out etc, she knows it doesnt wash with them. Ive just got to do this myself. Its just so hard!
