You know, I work with the public, customers, in heated negotiations over money, sometimes their lives in my hands.

I never encounter the kind of crap like I have to deal with from my family!

I have to keep reminding myself that I do see the situation accurately. I do have every right to be livid.

I could strong arm this situation to get what I want, except there is nothing more I want. What's done is done. There is no undoing it.

I could force her to give me the necklace. How horrible! I certainly would never want it without her blessing, that I had to force it out of her. There is no meaning.

Giving me that necklace meant her love to me. I'm sure she understood that. I made myself so clear. But she wasn't even listening.

I expect people to treat me how I think they should and I am nearly always disappointed. If this is BPD, then that's on me.
