Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

What a Cinderella dream, Bones...

You deserved better.

New PHamily is my Rx.

Thanks, Hops.

The question is how to find a new healthy PHamily and not attract more N's.

In the meantime, here is today's "Dear Abby":

One of the letters in "Dear Abby", concerning a person with Alzheimer's being "paraded about" against her earlier wishes reminds me of what NDoofus frequently did with her mother....even when it was CLEARLY inappropriate!  Her own husband tried to reason with her about it.  (Like reasoning with an N is going to make any difference.)  Her "excuse" was that if she didn't take her mother EVERYWHERE with her, then people would look at HER and think she's an "awful daughter".  In reality, she would brag to others, either verbally or non-verbally: "Look how GREAT I AM!!!  LOOK AT ME helping my poor mother!"  Then she would bask in the praise of total strangers while exposing her mother to all kinds of dangers....which was STUPID!!!!!!

Thank God her mother is now resting in peace and not suffering at the hands of an N anymore!

I'm suspicious that the first letter is leaving out a LOT of other details that could give a better picture to the situation.

The second letter reminds me of a situation that I witnessed where, unfortunately, the N was the one with the wheels and she tried to pretend that she OWNED where we were!  All of her PASSENGERS kept telling her, it's time to go home!  WE WANT TO GO HOME!  THE PARTY IS OVER!!!  WE ARE TIRED!!!  The host and hostess kept politely asking her to leave and SHE IGNORED ALL OF US!!!   

Finally, at 2:00 AM in the morning, the host literally got in her face and told her:  "GET OUT!!!!"  The N gave this little giggle, smiled, and commented in a simpering voice:  "Oh, is it late?  Tee-hee!"  The rest of us were ready to wring her neck!

On the way home, the N compounded her BS by blathering mindlessly about "her little plans" to have all the passengers in HER car stay overnight at HER place to watch HER DVD's ALL NIGHT!  (Sounded like the Queen NC!@# wanted to force us to attend to her NRoyal A$$ as if we were her property!)     We all said, "NO!  WE ARE TIRED!" and she continued to blather mindlessly anyway about "her little plans" because the word "NO" does not exist in HER world!  The expression on the N's face was priceless the instant she parked her car in the driveway and all of her passengers got out, walked to their own cars AND LEFT HER!!!!

I did think the Annies' response to the sadistic mother was namby-pamby and fiber-free...
what a horror for those kids.

There are days when I believe that everyone here could provide better insights and answers than the advice columnists who are being paid for their stuff!

These neighbors have a LOT of NERVE!

Today's "Annie's Mailbox" sounds like another N is being discussed:

With a "father" like THAT, I would go NC YESTERDAY!!!!!!!

[Hopalong]

Gotta agree.
I think the Annies' responses are so shallow and empty as to make most writers' pain worse.

What a gig. They barely move their lips half the time and half the time what they do say sounds like a faint, "Too bad..."

(Speaking of empathy-free...)
