Reply #29: Before you pile on too much...She's obviously mentally ill as well [View All]

Have you ever dealt with a mentally ill person? I have. They are by nature extremely self-centered and behave in ways that appear to be just bitchy for no reason. Granted she's been spoiled, but I have a relative who has alienated, insulted, screamed at, and cut off almost every memeber of the family who pointed out her bad behavior and even though she knows she has behaved badly, she still indulges in the loathsome behavior much to the rest of the families disgust and chagrin.
The point is, that often people with mental illnesses/personality disorders indulge in bad behavior and its a really fine line between holding them accountable for it, and trying to understand that the disease is at least partially responsible.
