HPD's Estranged Children and Grandchildred

Postby ironwood2 » Tue Jan 12, 2010 6:32 pm

Please folks,

Son 40 yr with preteen daughters. Won't make contact with HPD mom. What's the likely
underlying beef? She used him for attention? Detecting some passive agressive behavior
masked with avoidant behavior. Oh, he married a hard core NPD spanish woman. She
is running block. Says he want's to avoid blowup. What say you? Tks! IW

Are you the 'go-between' (or peacemaker) here? What you could do is first make sure that the son knows what HPD is, and how it manifests itself in a person. Then, I believe that you should arrange for everyone to have a meeting together at a specific time (and on a spec. date) so that everyone can voice their opinions on things.

I was going to say he's probably just taken the very advice that this forum would give him, and gone N/C. It sounds, though, like more likely his 'hardcore NPD spanish woman' doesn't want the competition and so is bullying him into avoiding his mother. Passive aggressive behaviour seems a pretty normal 'nice guy' response to both personality types, when he wants to rebel but isn't quite sure how.
