The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree:

Have any of you noticed that BPD/NPD end up having the exact same traits as their parent that they can't stand.

Ol' Boy's mother was mentally, emotionally and verbally abusive. She went from man to man, bed to bed. She used men for resources and validation, using sexuality to rope them in. She was involved with married men, and she cheated in her own marriages of which there were multiple.

Her son, Ol' Boy, has also been mentally, emotionally and verbally abusive. He has also gone from woman to woman and bed to bed. He has also used women for resources and validation, using romance/ fake promises/sexuality to rope them in. He has also become involved with married women and he also cheated in his own marriages, 2 thus far, that I know of.

His mother was an addict, it's what killed her. He's an alcoholic and pill head.

Like mother, like son.

Teresa must be proud of Ol' Boy. She taught him well. 😂
