They demand unconditional, unquestioning trust, even as they lie to you!<br /><br />Good luck :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-31581307401947774652014-11-06T22:33:34.124+11:002014-11-06T22:33:34.124+11:00" We are so much more than our profiles"..."

I deal on a regular basis with an undiagnosed person who I believe has one or both of these disorders.
