This conversation is fascinating to me. Thanks so much for having it here.
But I have a question: how does one best respond to a crazymaking S?
What would be the response you'd want, not the one that reinforces the c-making, but the other one? I'm not the S who does that, I'm the one who's really confused by the c-making behaviors.
Quote: My dad was very aggressive/violent/loud/verbal/nasty. I never knew when he was going to be mad.
Mine too. My response was to take myself out of the situation and not really have a R with dad. But I was also the "favored" kid. It's really interesting to me to hear how other "girls" responded to that situation. Thanks for talking about it.
