Domestic Violence from kids to parents

The thing is Starblaze anyone who maybe worrying about being a narcissist wont be one, because narcissists simply don't care that that's what they are.

A rather strange picture Rosecarmel. To what does it refer?

Harpy: a cousin of the flying monkey-

Agedp the only person in my life I can be sure is a narcissist is the one who caused my narcissistic abuse related trauma.

If anyone else is worried that they could be a narcissist I would suggest they take a moment to think about themselves....

If they are still reading this comment then hopefully they are ok

Abuse victim humour.

Smileless -- It usually happens when someone says something very unhealthy like calling an infant a "small object" and then insists that anyone who sees 'that' as an issue must be the one with the problem. I disagree.

That's where I see derailments occurring.

Are you in that picture, then, rosecarmel?

I thought you'd be younger than that.

When I follow the discussion or try to keep it on track, I'm ignored

That's an interesting comment because I've just taken the time to read back over the whole of this thread and I can see that 7 requests have been made, by various posters, between 11th October and today, asking if the discussion could back on topic. And none of them were you Starblaze.

I posted an image of the elephant in the room- It was removed- So prattle on all you want about "who" is uncomfortable-

I think it was a reasonable question Starblaze, as your post didn’t seem to bear any relation to the thread. So what’s the answer?

"Well isn't it polite to answer a question when asked?"

Is it impolite not to? ?

That's not the impression I got a couple/few pages back when someone refused to respond to a question but is now expecting their question answered -- funny that!

The question I seem to remember was straight forward enough Starblaze. You were asked if that particular post was about a poster on this thread. Was it or not?

That's a good point Chewbacca. I think other posters, those who constantly go off topic are the ones finding it 'too uncomfortable to discuss'; I wonder why.

Smileless I'm not sure there was any point in the question given the context previously mentioned and I can't see much point in answering because nothing I say is "good enough" anyway.

When I follow the discussion or try to keep it on track, I'm ignored and when I comment in general I must mean something awful because I'm an EAC.

So what's the point really

The subject matter had become too uncomfortable to discuss- It happens-

The initial posters didn't appear to find it ^to uncomfortable to discuss^; they just got chased away.

Well isn't it polite to answer a question when asked?

Which reminds me, are you going to answer Agedp's question Starblaze?

Why not rosecarmel. You posted it for a reason I assume.

Chewbacca

Is it appropriate to post a photo of women doing the Nazi salute? Who or what is that aimed at rosecarmel?

Am I expected to answer?

The thread didn't get derailed- The subject matter had become too uncomfortable to discuss- It happens-

Is it appropriate to post a photo of women doing the Nazi salute? Who or what is that aimed at rosecarmel?

Because they are/were awful, Smileless- I don't find that fact the least bit amusing- What amuses me is that they think they were/are not-

Amusement wasn't my initial reaction- My initial reaction, as others, was trauma, which the denier/s never takes seriously either-

So ..

Hill-o-Beans ..

Callistemon

^My impression is that some posters are attempting to exclude others.^

It could have developed into an interesting discussion, Iam64 but unfortunately has gone astray and posters have left, including the OP, perhaps they became bored.

Correct Callistemon, in fact as far back as 11th October @ 22.28, I tried, for the first time, to get the discussion back to what the OP wanted to talk about. Several others have tried many times since but have been dissuaded. As so often happens, it's become another exclusionary discussion between just a few, with nothing to do with the subject matter.

And yes, you're spot on Sparkling and Iam64.

I agree sparkling Sparkling
Small = minded
Adult = childish
Thread = repetitive

It does seem strange doesn't it Sparkling having estranged their abusive parents, got families of their own and made a good life for themselves.

Thank you welbeck. It's very sad isn't it.

It's a shame isn't it Callistemon; boredom or frustration perhaps.
