Warped Gratitude Blog

Today I am thankful for my blog and the weirdness that has become my life. I think I am thankful.  I'm not sure. Yes...my blog.  For the past eight years, I have documented almost every single thing of significance that has happened in my life since my (now) deceased father-in-law was seen driving by my house (which coincided with my ex and I talking about getting divorced).

It is a great way to get antique jewelry and creepy dolls for next to nothing.  People want to get rid of creepy things.  I take them.  There are only two things that I find too creepy to wear.  One is a 70's er

Think About It...   A person with Borderline Personality Disorder often presents with a characteristic relationship pattern over time. This pattern usually evolves through three stages: The Vulnerable Seducer, The Clinger, and The Hater. This evolution may take months, and sometimes even years to cycle through. In the later periods, the personality often swings back and forth from one phase to the next. ~ Roger Melton, M.A..   Today I am thankful for how far we've come in defining Borderline Personality Disorder in the past decade.   I have stayed off of Facebook since Steve posted to my page under a pseudonym.  If he is mentally unstable, I probably shouldn't provoke him by posting about anything.  I have hidden all of my posts from everyone except my friends.  The problem with that is that he was trying to get in one of my Facebook friend's knickers.  She was the one who called me up claiming to be homeless and wanting to move into my ex-husband's room.  Her ca
