Re: [MLM Survivors Club] Grandmother and MLM's.

<<The traits that Lori describes can also fall under narcissistic
personality disorder, which has absolutely nothing to do with MLM's.>>

I just wanted to jump in here quickly. NPD had a very low prevalence
rate and is more common in men than in woman. Personality disorders
are tricky things, and PD's in general are a source of controversy in
the mental health community.

If Lori's grandmother did have an underlying mental health issue of
any kind, I strongly believe that her MLM involvement would only
exacerbate any pre-existing problems, and even if the MLM is not the
sole cause of the problem, it is certainly not helping. Lori is
dealing with something very difficult, and I feel that she has
accurately identified a cause of her grandmother's actions.

Lori- Best of luck in dealing with your situation! I hope that you
find this group both supportive and helpful. This group is a
wonderful resource.
