I don't mean someone who cut you off in traffic or forgot your birthday. I mean someone who can peg the DSM meter(Criteria below) You need not satisfy every one. They're the worst.
Got it? Anyone you know with this disorder?
For me, it's my girlfriend's mother. I won't bore you with everything; suffice it to say that nothing you do is ever good enough(or even the "right" thing). I've been criticized harshly for: --Bringing her brownies from the bakery --Visiting sick family members in the hospital --Attending the wake and funeral of my girlfriend's father(her husband; I actually got a "review")
Years ago, I was informed that she kept in regular touch with my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. Then she wonders why I want nothing to do with her.
Today, I found out that she talks to his family too.
The ex died two years ago.
This is what I'm talking about.
Anyone else dealing with these loathsome individuals?

The realationship started out great, I thought we had a special relationship, but after a while things started to sour, I could not do or say anything right, I started to see the holes in all of their stories, I was always walking on egg shells not to upset them, they always made me feel guilty for things that were beyond my control, blame me for things that they was actually guilty of, was jealous of others in my life, I had to walk away and never look back. For my own sanity.
@uncalled4 nope, the only thing you can do is get away from them, and of course they will blame you for leaving them when they were the ones that pushed you away, but I think that's what they want so you can apologize and go grovelling back.
