absolutely,and yes ppl w. BPD can fly into a rage in the blink of an eye over something completely minor...that's why I think the Christmas morning video disappeared..Patsy got upset over JB not liking the doll.And so JR then felt the need to write it just the opposite in DOI,in case that ever came into question (i.e.-BR recalls it).
I'm not so sure JR knew exactly what all BR had said in his interview...and so he wrote it that way in DOI,not knowing what Thomas's soon-to-be-out book was going to say.
Remember Thomas said Patsy had a tight grip on JB's arm in the Christmas morning photo..and you can partially see that in the photo that was released.It's possible JR was trying to calm her down by getting a few pics..distraction work sometimes.He probably also realized that getting her out of the house...i.e.-going to the White's for dinner,would help as well.And it probably did,for awhile.(I know,I've had to work around these things myself).
I suspect Patsy wasn't happy about the upcoming trip,for one reason,she would have had to watch her temper around the others,and wouldn't be able to show her true feelings,esp. if she and JB got into a disagreement.To someone with BPD,that is frustration at it's finest.
A member of our family is BP and Borderline PD Other things too Let tell you she can be charming and energy plus, must run the show. Her universe centers around herself and look at me. Our grandaughter is now really starting to show some signs that it can be generational that or signs of how it affected her. Tis a train wreck. We do our best to read it and get the help needed and keep encouraging the taking the meds etc. Thats what you do and highly try to disuade them from the appeal of the manic they crave What goes up must come down and usually its on the way down Kaboom. The doctors say that is because they dont want that high to end. I think Christmas was one of the triggers. And its something families dont openly discuss. I cant find that Patsy was ever diagnosed but then you wouldnt have unless there had been a trial.
