Hi all. Really interesting about the Karpman drama triangle, I'd never heard of that. I had another talk with my dd (12) about this scenario recently. Ex takes no responsibility for our split, and casts himself firmly as the victim. Once again, I had to explain that we had all lost something because of what happened, that he had made his own choices (as had I) and that we all had to live with the consequences. I think his remarks to her are very subtle, so it's just something she's going to have to come to see (or not?) for herself.
Teabay My ex called me a Cold Hearted Cow when he too realised I meant what I said. I don't think even now he can believe that I walked away from him. Much better in their eyes for you to be the Ice Queen and me the C H C than to have to examine their own actions and character.
As for being sexist, my ex was/is a kind of 1950's style sexist. He didn't really think women should work when they had children, and certainly felt there were some areas where females weren't meant to be.
I can't decide if the WNs would all get along. I'm not sure "getting along" is something they do generally. I would guess that they're not easy going, take anywhere types. They are insecure, always looking for the possible slight from somebody else. As they would need to feel dominant I think they'd find it hard to be with many others of the same type also seeking this role.
What's the collective name for a group of WNs ?
A bin full of WNs, a victimhood of WNs ?!
Glad to see about the documentary Nats
