That's what I'm talking about ladytiger. She rarely talks about anything else, at least when she's talking to me. I can understand someone wanting to share their troubles now and then and get support like we do on PC, which is the appropriate venue for that, but she seems to revel in dredging up the past.

One thing I learned in therapy is that you can't blame your childhood on every misfortune. Sometimes we have to take some responsibility for things or at least recognize that life sucks sometimes even if our childhood was stellar. She'd never go on a forum like this. She will never get therapy. She doesn't do emotions and is pretty shut down in that regard which I understand is because of her abuse. Anyhow, she's going to have to find another emotional punching bag because I'm done.

But what my post is all about is why would someone want to do this and literally freak out when someone asks them nicely to stop? What pleasure can they get from it?
