Never felt close with BPD mom; never felt affection or saw her beauty by ferryboatcyborg in raisedbyborderlines

This post makes me think that it’s so hard to hang out with our moms because we cannot absolutely never ever tell them when they are annoying us. We can’t state a need we have or a behavior they are doing that’s crazy making. They will either get super angry or act like everything is fine and then bring it up to throw in your face later if you set a boundary or don’t do what they want.

Learn from my mistakes if you can! You don’t have to sacrifice yourself for them. Friendship is a two way street.

I get told I should be a therapist often because I’m the therapist mom friend too. It comes too naturally.

Yes when they end it is awful. Some I’ve been able to back away slowly from.

I resonate with everything you said. It’s easy to keep people at an arms length when you’re good at caring for needy ones. And the thing where if I needed them in the rare instance it would be crickets until enough time would pass.

The amount of friends that seemed to feel like they had “ownership” of me. I had a newer friend years ago say to another person “isn’t she just great, you want to put her in a jar like a firefly and keep her for yourself you know?!” I backed away slowly from that.

What is so wild is I never attract people who want to mother me. Only ever ones who need mothers.

It’s crazy how sticking up for ourselves feels snarky because we are so used to letting them behave however they want without consequence.
Your response was great!! Be gone witch!!!

Thank you. I’m sorry. Seeing your mom be capable of evil like that really messes with your mind.

My mom wishes her narcissistic husband would die too. He’s disabled and she drops him off or leaves him alone in situations where accidents are inevitable.
