The hilarious part is she's been very helpful and supportive otherwise. I didn't have any trouble making friends as a kid until the whole traumatic divorce and then super abusive athletic team bit. The times I've been functional I develop relationships pretty quickly. I don't have any characteristics besides the ones that overlap with borderline or bipolar. It's an excuse for her to feel in control of something she doesn't understand and make up for her shitty parenting in the past.

It doesn't matter, but it makes me so fucking angry. I'm really REALLY adverse to people trying to manipulate me, and its infuriating that I still need her when she's being such an ass.
