Do you live in a functional family?

[P7PSP]

My family is pretty good. There have been spectacular fuckups with booze, drugs, stupid behavior etc but my family is very supportive.

[Scrapheap]

No, my family wasn't functional.

My mother was an emotionally immature Borderline Personality.

My dad, I suspect of being a Dependent Personality, and he enabled all my mom's bullshit.

Sounds like pussy whipped would be the layman's term.

Yes, but I've noticed, now that my mom has died, that he looks to me to make decisions many times.

A better question would be: Who does?

[Calavera]

Meaning? It's ok to be clarifying things.

It was meant as a dig at my husband and me and our daughter.

I get ya now. So it's Pyraxis just being Pyraxis as always.

I come from a very functional, non-judgemental family.

Wish I could provide my kids the same. But, that's not going to be. We do try though, and. The girls and I make the best out of it. And, we do all know we are loved and appreciated, also when we feel like shit ourselves.

It was meant to see if Callaway would take the bait, whether she was still defensive. Since the answer seems to be yes, I see no reason to engage civilly. I was hoping she would respond playfully, in which case I would have done the same.

Callaway, you can NOT speak for what I mean. Don't do it.

[Calavera]

Still defensive about what? You're at least half-serious in what you said.

[Pyraxis]

There are some seriously fucked-up undercurrents running between me and Callaway. Most of the time we avoid each other, so as not to set things off, but in the past couple weeks we've been engaging more.

[Calavera]

So it's shaky grounds and not functional much.

[Pyraxis]

  You could say that.

[TA]

Is this headed for a callout?

[Calavera]

Is this headed for a callout?

Not really. I don't have an issue with Pyraxis. But she does confuse.

[Pyraxis]

Nah, if there's a callout, it'll be between me and Callaway. But who knows.
