Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

[BonesMS]

Sorry for your loss Bones.
What a lucky bird to have had you caring for her.

Thanks, KatG.

I don't think "Dear Abby" really understands toxic, abusive parents.  I think she totally missed the point that this NWombDonor had been abusive towards her own children EVER SINCE THEY WERE BORN:

Hi Bones! I'm up too, this morning.

Well... I think maybe Abby does understand and she also gets that there is absolutely nothing to be done about the old bag... her advice "to try a little harder... so the D doesn't have any regrets later"???? ... could've been said a bit differently. I mean, the D did "feel guilty" about not visiting the bioNic witch in the nursing home... so if she did start visiting once in a while... maybe she'd feel less guilty??? That's a normal response from someone who hasn't sruvived a parent like this, you know?

We know it's a Big Maybe - because with a mom like that, she's probably gonna feel guilty no matter WHAT she does. The first part of the description sounds a lot like how my mom is, at my brother's home. She can be violent, too... but only when some switch in her head flips - out! There's no rhyme or reason for it, in other words.

Just checking in.

Woke up at 3:30 in the morning and can't get back to sleep.

[BonesMS]

Sleep got disrupted again.

Big cuppa chamomile to you Bones,
hope you sleep peacefully all through the night.

The Victim in Texas sounds as if he is dealing with an N:

Only an N would behave like that!

I really feel for the writer of the first letter in Dear Prudence:

Sleep disrupted, again, at 3:30 in the morning.

For me it's 4:30 am, when that happens, Bones.

(Early waking is a depression symptom and you've had a pretty rough winter...)

Thanks, Hops.

Unfortunately, I'm painfully aware that I'm dealing with several forms of depression simultaneously.

Managed to sleep until 5:00 AM and still I feel tired.
