Title: when it boils down to not wanting t do simple things like this Post by: byfaith on July 01, 2016, 01:21:46 PM after being dogged in text messages over the past 3 days and being told what a hateful and rude person I am.
I get a text asking me to print a picture out for her on my printer at work so she can frame it for her mom to put in her house. My nature says print the picture because I don't mind doing favors for people but I feel like I am being used after all that crummy crap was said to me If I do it then she sees me as useful. If I don't do it I will be hateful and rude and her opinion of me stays correct. If I don't print it I am trying to prove a point. This sucks to me. This may sound totally ridiculous. she basically is giving me the cold shoulder unless she needs a favor from me.

Remember this is an "in the moment" disorder... .she changes her feelings about you rapidly. Will try to write more later.

This is a similar dynamic to her having such high expectations of you with her son. It's like she expects you to be the perfect "servant" and when you're just a normal human being with your own wants and needs, then she finds you lacking and paints you black.

It's F-O-G: fear, obligation or guilt. Suggest you pull back and do nothing until the FOG clears. LJ
