Dr. John mentioned that sometimes a child of a narcissistic parent and a non-narcissistic parent will feel conflict and become a chronic lier, taking on the narcissist parent's story. Is there any more information you can give me about this topic? It struck a personal note.

2023-03-17 01:56:23 +0000 UTCI think it is important to realize that Maggie suffered from postpartum depression and had difficulty attaching to him from the time of his birth and with that and his difficult personality it was difficult for her to attach to him

2023-03-11 19:49:09 +0000 UTCRegarding Paul and Maggie’s bond, or lack thereof, I know a family like this, with a very dominant father, who has real personality issues, one of the sons is very sweet and easy, the other son is a chip off the old block (his father). It is a remarkable dynamic to see, and his mother is completely run over by the combined forces of both assholes. I knew them through the all boys school my son attended with the problematic son, and watched as he grew increasingly violent towards his classmates over time. Maggie is possibly not to be blamed for the fact that as her child displays alienating behavior, she was herself potentially alienated by him. The mother in the family I knew was a pleaser, too, and very sweet. I think she was there to soften her husband’s edges, but she was way out of her league.

2023-03-11 19:42:44 +0000 UTCI thought of a bit of a correlation here between Alex Murdaugh and Vladimir Putin, in regards to Dr John’s theory about how Putin is Russia, any attack on Putin is an attack on Russia. Any attack on Alex Murdaugh is potentially an attack on the entirety of the great Murdaugh dynasty that has to be quelled… maybe? It’s interesting though, I think a difference in tis case is the sickness from within, that we see here with the intergenerational shame. I would have to say though that, as far as intergenerational shame goes, it’s existent additionally already with white privilege in the south. He is a man of modern times, he knows how they got to the top. Look who he chose to victimize, I think that the elderly housekeeper/nanny was African-American, if I remember correctly? When you think about it there is so much shame. I’m an addict, it kind of takes one to know one, I think all of his talk of shame is awfully convenient. I know that is a different level of shame other than the ones I was just talking about. What a mess!! Remarkable that he thought that he could right this train that was already so far off the tracks. A train off the tracks, and a high level of secrecy about that train, very much a motive for a family annihilator.

2023-03-11 17:44:41 +0000 UTCRandy interviewed with the New York Times and makes it clear, IMO, that he thinks that Alex is guilty. He doesn’t say it outright, but you don’t to read between the lines to figure that out.
