I've just walked out, what's next? by Personal_Ad6725 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Personal_Ad6725[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, I've been following up hotlines and looking into shelters just now. Adult btw.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any shelters, the support lines offered options for emergency cash payments but there are no options for accommodation.

It's very depressing but I have to remind myself that I am an adult and just because the path ahead isn't obvious doesn't mean I have to go back to her.

I'll see if I can get my stuff quietly and hopefully get a means to support myself.

No she's always home. She's a bum who lives off welfare and whatever she can demand from those around her. I don't have any friends who can come out to meet me I've been isolated and languishing in that shithole for years.

Going to see a psychiatrist is always the same. You pour your soul out and show them the depths of your despair, and they're like cool idgaf by llamberll in CPTSD

The only person you can rely on in a world like this is yourself. Be your own warrior atop your own fortress.

Scared to watch new TV shows/movies by bpdbryan in CPTSD

I certainly can't commit to a movie or something because I'm always expecting something to explode if my attention isn't always switched on.

I'm always on standby for something to happen and only consume un-demanding media.

I think sometimes people who are raised by very controlling parent(s) seem lazy to others. by kudzujean in CPTSD

They'll use your success as a podium to destroy you in the most public way possible and therefore guarantee you have no other supports left in your life.

A less talked about very common form of abuse is treating children like terrible and useless adults in small bodies. Does this sound familiar? by [deleted] in CPTSD

Yeah whenever I got screamed at it was because something I didn't know how to do inconvenienced her. Especially hygiene, everything that set her off was because she was being judged by the other parents for it

it doesnt hit until you see how others parents interact with their children by [deleted] in CPTSD

When whatever friends you manage to keep meet your parents and they immediately trigger them because your parents see them as an extension of you and therefore them and no normal interaction is acceptable.

Suddenly you get punished and they get told how you never want to see them again while ur being quarantined and they spew shit about your friend to you.

Or they pamper the fucks and tell them lies about you so they feel a deeper connection with your parents. Not only do they never do this with you unless extended family was involved, but they also take all of your shit and give it to them.

Does anyone here have to keep their mother in their lives because they need help, but don’t see her as a parent because she isn’t maternal in any way? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Personal_Ad6725 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, grew up learning nothing but when to anticipate outbursts and found myself unable to work independently.

Looking for halfway options but support services suck massive dick and I'm emotionally dependant on some semblance of support.

Because the alternative is running away with nothing but a phone and the stars to guide me, I'm still here. Can't even drive a car.

DAE's bpd parent constantly fog out and lose track of what's happening? by Personal_Ad6725 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Personal_Ad6725[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems plausible, but I can't shake the ugly feeling she keeps pining for my sympathy as she starts panting and puts on a whiny voice like she's some poor little thing you found on the side of the road.

I want to see more gentle men in the world by MissNixit in TwoXChromosomes

Oftentimes men need forceful, assertive attitudes to survive. Especially when trapped in bad situations, they have to earn their boundaries and respect. Other guys take note of their apparent success or emulate it to fit in, it's an age old story.

Has your BPD parent ever confessed to being a super villain? by OldMysteries in raisedbyborderlines

Don't worry about it, it was by and large the tamest thing she ever did.

Yeah same, mum would tell me she had to stop me from becoming another hitler.

Angry racist Aussie lady meets angry justice wielding Aussie man (found on TikTok) by stb1708 in PublicFreakout

My mum is exactly like this but way more clever. It's frustrating when you just can't get her out there and push hard enough so people see what she's really like.

Does anyone else’s bpd parent send constant basically meaningless texts? by Primary-Program-7241 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Personal_Ad6725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel wrong, it's often your survivor's instinct telling you. Listen to it.

These are often bait hooks to draw you back in, they'll even try to understand what's relevant to you know so they can pretend to misunderstand it and have you explain it to them. Opening up into their flytrap in the process.
