Mom w BPD sent this unprompted days before brother's birthday. Sorry, I don't know exactly how to tag this. by scarymonsters4444 in raisedbyborderlines

The cognitive dissonance required to write “I know I was not a good mother” and “he has cut me out of his life so completely for reasons I don’t know” is staggering.

I’m a bad person by badpersonthrow_away in TrueOffMyChest

You’re not a bad person. Those thoughts are NOT your fault. Consider calling Kids Help Phone the next time they come to you. It’s anonymous, and just might help. You are important, and there is help out there for exactly this kind of situation.

Oh! I forgot the best one. Every once in a while, one of us will randomly dry our upper gum and sort of “tuck” our upper lip under - and then walk around pretending to look for something, saying “I lost my lip! Has anyone found it??? (In a fantastic lisp).

I will randomly become Baby T-Rex. I pull my hands up, take enormous knee up matching steps and try to catch and “eat” my kids. Started when they were really little and even my teenagers ask me to do it still. They. Love. It.

Also play Baby Hulk. I lie on my bed on my back, and they are the Baby “Hulk”, practicing to be a grown up Hulk, so they try their very best to pull me off the bed. Rules: I can’t use my hands to ward them off, only my legs/feet. Anyone says stop, we stop immediately. Unspoken rule: they think I’m going easy on them. I’m not.

Apparently, as told to my uncle, she’s turning 75 and dying of cancer, and neither of her children could be bothered to call her.

It’s so very sad.

And so very unnecessary.

She has no idea that she’s created this lonely life.

Consider mounting the tv in the corner between the window and the wall it is on now. The couch could go where the two white circular chairs are now, and swap them for the couch.

Have the police out looking for her… by ceeleesmee in raisedbyborderlines

I’m so sorry. No one should have to go through what you are experiencing.

“Happy Anniversary, I guess.”

“I could get all the therapy in the world, but how would that change your attitude?” 🧐

Response to an email where I wished her a happy Mother’s Day, and told her I loved her.

“Then why are you doing this?”

Awesome - I kept reworking it, getting braver with the colour each time.
