We talk about personality disorders and abuse on this forum, and handling relationships with people with them, our parents, family, etc...

We all always knew and talked about things not being right with many members of my family. We aren't about going to doctors, there were never diagnoses. But all I can say is my mother always had something, and now this is the stuff PTSD is made of.

We all keep telling her to just take Valium and calm down. I feel so bad there's nothing they can do for her really. She has a digestive problem and pain. She can't take pain killers because they cause the digestive problem. It's a vicious cycle.
