Read MoreDr. Claremont couldn’t have been more off-base when it came to my evaluation. An evaluation that I only requested because of a situation with my daughter and her husband. I am over 60 years old and I’ve been through a lot in life. Including divorce, loss of a pregnancy after 7 1/2 months of pregnancy, and other family difficulties. But… I made it through the rain. I raised two children (one with special needs) and he is flourishing thanks to the continued efforts of my ex husband and I and his sister and brother-in-law. He is good to go!
Where I went wrong with my daughter I do not know… I gave her my all as well. But I did the evaluation to satisfy her and now I wish I had not.. Why? Because Dr. Claremont doomed me. I call it name-calling… How did she come up with all of these personality disorders from a 200 question questionnaire where 100 questions were repeats, and a few questions to the daughter that caused the situation, and my ex-husband.!?! From those three things and less than three hours with me, she came to the conclusion that I have traits of several different personality disorders, including schizophrenia, and paranoia. I can tell you now I’ve never heard voices and I’ve never seen people that aren’t there. I’m a worry wart, but I’m not paranoid. I didn’t have fear of highway issues until later in life. Until my mid-40s I went everywhere, but then I had panic attacks during my divorce and it happened driving the parkway. Scared the living daylights out of me and I said well, I’m not doing that again, and I accepted it. But this does not limit my activity. I volunteer and continue to help others. I travel by car, train, plane, and bus, and have no fear of doing so. My lack of highway driving does not restrict me at all. In fact, I know quite a few people who don’t drive the highway anymore… That doesn’t make you paranoid. It means you have limitations.
Because I talk about my problems doesn’t make me narcissistic. I am far from it. I have no one at home to vent to so sometimes I talk about my problems to others a little too much. Did I not mention that? She also said, I have narcissistic personality disorder, and the list goes on. This report was more damaging than helpful and I wish I could erase it and in fact I’m going to look to see if there’s a way that I can because I sure as hell am not sharing it with anybody else. Stay away from this practice! They are dangerous!
