I get feeling for a daughter's pain, and even hurting a bit because they hurt, but I do not get the level to which this is dramatized by fully grown women.

You're a psychologist...it's called personality disorder!

*cough* Counselor... almost licensed.. soon.

And having dealt with someone with histrionic personality disorder among a few borderlines, no. It's called being selfish and immature and taking your insecurities out on others. (And expecting others to do what you want them to.)

I'm all judgey today though so yeah. Using shock, horror, betrayal, cruelty, etc. just make me think of soap opera, not something we generally encourage for every day life. More clutching my pearls than caring for my kid.
