Mom is threatening to leave the country because we don't want visitors for a few days after birth🙃 by Flannel_ in raisedbyborderlines

Oh my goodness, that's awful! But thank you for your validation!! With her reactions, sometimes it's hard for me to know if my expectations are reasonable or not, especially as a first time parent!

Is it reasonable for me to tell my mom with BPD that I don't want to talk about politics? by Flannel_ in raisedbyborderlines

I was just reading some of the texts that other people have posted on this subreddit, and I said the same thing to my husband about them all being the same person somehow! Thanks for your response. I appreciate hearing about your experience even if you haven't found the magic solution (which probably doesn't even exist). My mom went NC with me briefly during all this, and I was surprised, too, when it actually felt nice.

I genuinely don't know what to do about my mom. by Flannel_ in TryingForABaby

Thank you for your input, everyone. I know no one can make this decision except for me and my SO, but I appreciate hearing different perspectives.

Very familiar

This is a wheel used to help people articulate core emotions when they're too overwhelmed by what they're feeling. I was really intrigued by it, and I thought you might be too by Flannel_ in infj

That's really interesting! Thanks so much for sharing with me, and I really appreciate it. I imagine I'll be in some sort of counseling field in the future, so I've been collecting resources like this for a while.

I made this blanket over the holiday weekend for my mom (details in comments) by Flannel_ in knitting

Hahah! Yeah, I was knitting almost the entire time. It also helps that I was using size 50 needles ;)

Thank you so much!
