My ex exhibited the same type of behavior but I don't want to give specifics on here.
A few years back, my grandma ran into an old co-workers. A woman with 3 children. A 17 year old boy, an 11 year old girl, and a 7 year old. After hearing her horrible story about her husband beating her, using up all the saving, left her penniless, cheated, and whatnot. then he put her and tbe kids out.
No lie, the kids were weird af. For the most part, the seven-year-old behaved like a normal 7 year old kid. However the 17 yr old seem depress. The 11 yr old, had wicked dead cold stare. Like Devil's eyes, and often fake smiled. The only time she smiled was if someone gave her a compliment, about her dress, or gave her food, or did her hair pretty... .for compliments. But only wld sbow teeth. In her eyes, that dead evil look. she was very pretty, but nah, we didn't care much for her.
The point is, and the reason I say we give them way too much credit it's because... .
A few weeks later, family was visiting. A member of our family spoke to the son. The said the 11yr old girl beats her mom. Leaving bruises on her body. One day girl says to the brother, do you know why I only bit mommy on her body? B/c that way she can hide it. However, whenever he tried to discipline his sister or restrain her his mother would yell at him and tell him to leave her alone before she gets more upset. If the brother did not come home after a certain time, the 11 year old wld lock him out and threaten the mothet if she let him in. He had to sleep outside or at a friends. she wouldn't let him in until morning. Poor guy.
The truth about why she left the house... .
Baby girl told her hook up with the guy she cheated with b/c he had money. So that he can give moms money and they could go to the mall and buy her (11 yr old) pretty things.
The funny part is, that when the mom was in bed with the guy, it was the 11 year oldthat text her dad and told him to come home right away because there's an emergency. He couldn't confirm with the 17 year-old because he was at school. The mother was too busy to pay attention to her phone. The 11 year old was home because she faked being sick to make sure that her mother went through with the deal.
Now, we are talking about a high-functioning person. If you met her you wouldn't know that there's anything wrong with her. She works as a paralegal and makes good money. Which is why she left that soon; after she saved up enough to get her own place. Been at her job for over 10 years.
More about the 11 year old. She set up and manages her mother email personal emails... she tells her mother when she can and cannot go out. If the mom mother goes out without her daughter's concent, she has to take the daughter shopping. Or else all hell breaks loose. We know all of this because of the son (17). At the time we couldn't understand why but now that we know about BPD and NPD now it makes more sense. No sense at all, I mean
My ex is almost 40. Her kids friends acquaintances refer her to people she should date. A coworker is her long time pimp. Tild her she should cheat on her husband, with a guy, actually her brother, so she did. Same co-worker told her to leave her husband for whatever reason. Same coworker (older fdmale) hooked us up. Of course at the time I wasn't aware of the pattern.
I may be wrong for even thinking this, but doesn't that sound like a form of retardation? Rather than smarts?
I believe, if they were to play the same games on a kid, it wouldn't matter. That is Child's Play. Just like a pwBPD, the kids will not even know how to define what's going on.
High functioning or not this tells me that they're not as smart as some people give them credit for.
Reading computer all the stories you've read on this forum. They live a life of luxury to live in a dump. Leave a well-rounded individual to be without him. I can go on and on but I believe I have made my point.
The nons are not the unhealthy stupid ones and we should stop given these ppl soo much credit.
