Thanks for posting this, Trav. Upon reading it, I felt sad by acknowledging that my mom did almost all of those to me. And her inconsistency was agony...one day I was her best buddy and the greatest kid in the world. The next day I was a waste of a human being and she regretted ever having me.
I'm proud of myself because I worked so hard in therapy, and have always been med compliant. I truly did break the cycle with my own children.
