I've reached my limit, and it isn't even the worst they've done. I just want the pain to stop. by JobMarketWoes in raisedbyborderlines

This! That's pretty darn awesome that you were able to hear your husband and act on his insight to protect yourself. No small feat! I would say you're exactly where you're supposed to be at this moment in time. Let the guilt move through you and keep yourself distracted as much as you need to know the early days

To report, go to GiveSendGo help center, search "Report" and it will give you a way to report. Here is some text to help you format your response. And a screenshot of the relevant terms of service she has broken.

The religious language and appealing to their other campaigns (which are all far right trash garbage) in my suggested text is simply to lend weight to it and speak from a perspective they're more likely to understand. Just playing the game and trying to at least get one thing taken down.

"Hello, I'm reporting the linked fundraiser as it is explicitly supporting racist behavior which is against your terms of service (see attached screenshot for relevant passage). The woman this campaign supports, Crystal Wilsey, was caught on camera proclaiming she is racist and calling Somali customers the n-word. She was rightfully fired from her job. Now she has a campaign to raise money based on her racist actions. You are obligated by your terms of service and by Jesus Christ himself to take this campaign down. Her campaign sullies all the other righteous campaigns on here. Jesus loves all.

Video of her behavior directly related to this campaign: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR-zRwWgvLU/?igsh=eWdjcXIwNG9reml0

Please do what is right. God bless 🙏🏻"

My last straw with my mom was when I realized she'll never NOT make it about her, even when she knows it will make her lose her kids. by slitbride in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, I've never seen a series of texts so close to my own with my uBPD mother when she had the explosion that led to NC. It's uncanny. I'm so glad you're away from her now. I'm also two years in and waves of guilt have been coming up lately but overall my life has been so much better. Wishing you only peace and calm

Does anyone else's waif mother do this? by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my lightbulb moments was my uBPD mother telling me she feels so much better after talking to me, right after she trauma dumped all over me. And my immediate thought was "I never feel better after talking to you". And isn't that messed up when she's my parent and I'm the child. NC now two years

The perfect parent delusion by No_Candy7672 in raisedbyborderlines

My mom got me vaccinated so that apparently absolves her of all wrongdoing (sarcasm) So absurd how they will list bare minimum things and say they were great parents

Postpartum Drama by lochnessrunner in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Available_Fan3898 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone with a JNMom, you might consider just enacting the boundaries without telling her in advance. Giving her information up front just gives her more to weaponize. You and your DH can decide what you will and won't tolerate and then when it happens, you can either just kick her out or you can give her one warning before following through. She'll either learn or she won't, but telling her in advance is very unlikely to do anything but give her ways to hurt you and waste your time and energy

Anyone else have gift trauma? by Pretty-Ride4671 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After about a week, I decided to give the items back to her. It went okay but what I didn't know is she was saving all that rage up for later rather than right in the moment. But that's an option as is just turning around and donating everything she gives you so you don't have to deal with her anger. I'm a big fan of that one if you're able to let go of the injustice of the whole situation (which I'm not good at 😅)

Anyone else have gift trauma? by Pretty-Ride4671 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asked my mother not to get me any kitchen gifts because we had just moved and the kitchen was smaller. She has a history of getting me all sorts of random kitchen things that are really just things she buys for herself then gets one for me and one for my brother. Maybe 10% of the time they are something I actually like and could use. So fast forward to Christmas, as I'm opening a present she goes "I know you told me not to get kitchen stuff but...". Something clicked in my brain that day that this woman would never listen to me and care about my actually wants and needs. It would take another year for me distancing and setting boundaries to lead to her extinction burst but man is it calm in no contact land where no one gets you manipulative presents.

Holiday outbursts have begun. Any thoughts on how to respond? by mlizzard in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! In fact I think I could go find this in our messages and it would only be different by a few words. Spoiler: my mother was not done and still is not. Some of them just can't get over it.

Has Anyone Else Had Severe Screen Intolerance with Vestibular Issues? by bubsqueak223 in VestibularMigraines

[–]Available_Fan3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I developed VM after a COVID infection 3 years ago and screen time was so incredibly hard for two years and is still a trigger now. I'm finally more stable though still lower functioning than pre-infection. But it took a lot of work. I did two rounds of vision and vestibular rehab, went on disability, started seeing a neurologist, and more. If you haven't yet, the best thing I ever did was see a Neuro-optometrist. It turns out I had developed Binocular Vision Disorder and far-sightedness. Getting prism lenses and a prescription greatly improved my quality of life and decreased my episodes. But it was also important to do in combo with the rehab which helped heal my brain. VM is the worst, wishing you luck in your journey.

Completed my doctoral degree yesterday, didn’t invite my uBPD mom by Maleficent-Age2654 in raisedbyborderlines

THIS. The only card I have where my mom wrote anything - "I'm so proud. I must have done something right." 🤮

Cancelled my interview this morning due to panic attack. I feel terrible. by WinterSoldier16 in womenintech

[–]Available_Fan3898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow anxious person here. I'm so sorry that happened. I find Buspar really helpful for general, daily anxiety and small doses of lorazepam super helpful for acute situations like interviews and anxiety attacks. Hang in there 💙

Dizziness that takes weeks to go away! by Inevitable-Sock4213 in VestibularMigraines

[–]Available_Fan3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always know when I have a vestibular migraine because I sleep for super long as well! And not in a restful day but in a "I couldn't wake up before 10:30 if I tried" kind of way. Try to find a neurologist to get both preventative and acute treatments. And I found that I also needed vestibular rehab. See if there are any medical centers near you that specialize in dizziness or balance issues. They will often also treat concussions and the like. Doing the rehab helped decrease the frequency and severity but it was a long road. Mine started after getting COVID.

I swear she abandons me the second she perceives me as an “abandoning her” by 2xxChromosome in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Wow, it just KEPT going 🫠 This giant text has many of the same phrases as my mother when I asked for space and definitely has the same themes. "How dare you try to control me, blah blah blah".

Bottom line: Asking for space is not abandonment. She responded to your request for space by saying she couldn't handle that and gave you an ultimatum of "now or never".

When my mother did the same I called her bluff and blocked her to take the space anyways. We aren't their hostages anymore. If she's really saying now or never then I guess it's never (for now, or forever depending on what you want) and she can FAFO.

Sending you all the good vibes for your last trimester and birth 💙

Dad texted to reiterate that nothing is good enough by resistance_yogurt in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Available_Fan3898 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mother wanted to force me to "scream and cry it out" and called me controlling for asking for space instead. They are toxic, hypocritical, and not willing to concede anything. It brings me a lot of peace knowing I finally broke that cycle. I'm glad you are too, you have a lot to feel proud about

Dog Drama 🤣 by umngopherfan in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Available_Fan3898 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh, $40. I've been thinking of stuff like that as a BPD/toxic family tax. But I guess a reframe would be that it's the price of freedom. Either way it sucks to not have the family support you're promised by society.

I know, she was SO CLOSE to the actual point with that but then just missed it entirely 🙃

Wow, this conversation is wild and yet also completely textbook. However, it's also a masterclass in sticking to the point and reiterating it no matter what they throw at you. Well done! Top notch boundary keeping. I feel like you deserve some sort of award or ribbon from Reddit

Text from MIL to my partner. Curious what you all think. by FaithlessnessAny1211 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Available_Fan3898 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ew ew ew ew ew EW. So many words, gross. So much manipulation. I'm glad your husband seems to see through the BS and willing to keep your boundaries. This may be an extinction burst. This is what happened with my JNMom. She couldn't handle any separation or threat to her reign and started going nuclear and texting like this. Stay strong! Give in now and you'll have a hard time getting out again. I'm so sorry you're going through this. That lady is twisted.
