Interesting ... .She claimed to have used a belt on him when he richly deserved it.
he says she never resorted to physical punishment ...
maybe his mind is gone from the drugs, but I would think she was telling the truth and he is forgetting his “richly deserved punishment”
Is there an age limit on richly deserved spankings?
Re: Barry and his claim to never have been beaten by his mother (whereas she says she used a belt): it’s not the drugs. It’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder. One of the biggest manifestations of NPD is ‘rewriting history’. It’s what they do; it’s how they survive.
For instance, a true Malignant Narcissist will stand right in front of you, look you in the eye, and totally, completely rewrite the history of what he said five minutes before. He will then call you insane if you dispute him.
I knew a MN whose father beat the entire family—mother and four kids—black and blue for 20+ years. As an adult, this MN put his father on the world’s highest pedestal. To hear him talk, you’d imagine this man was the greatest human being ever to draw breath. The beatings? The MN imagined they had never happened. They didn’t fit with his narrative, so he erased them from both memory and ‘fact’.
That is what people don’t get about Obama. ‘Scary dude’ doesn’t begin to describe it. A person as dissociated from facts and reality as he is is not simply a sick puppy—he’s a menace. He looks at evil and sees good, and looks at good and sees evil. He’s a walking time bomb, decision-wise. We really, really need him gone from the Oval Office.
2012 can’t get here soon enough.
I've read that traumatized people don't really start remembering the worst of childhood abuse until they enter middle age.
