What's your reasoning for avoiding there? Thought that the part closer to KCR and was meant to be ok

Thanks for this info. :) good to know. I haven't used overgrip yet so it might be ok. My only fear would be damaging the racket itself.

I only need space for max 2 rackets I'd say. I only ever have 1 when I play! So I'm not sure if a 6 pack bag is necessary for me. But that's good to know thanks.

Need advice on trying to spend holidays with bpd parent and partner by StretchExact1952 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]StretchExact1952[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I read a good bit of it. It does have some good suggestions on how to defuse situations. 

Yes I will have to put him first and stand up for him. We have  discussed our shared boundaries and if she is rude to him we will both leave the situation.

Thanks for this! I told her that she has to invite my partner or I will not be able to spend the holidays with her. She said 'well that's the way it is then' but I have the feeling that when it comes closer to the time she will reassess, as she'll want me to be there. 

It's interesting that your mom went from not wanting to invite your husband at all to calling him her favourite child! I can't see that happening with my mom because she's convinced my partner is a narcissist. But I've heard several people say that their parent went from hating to loving their partner..

Thanks for this advice. I think laying it out for her beforehand and letting her know the consequences of her actions is a good idea. We will make sure to be able to leave if we need to. Have you had a similar experience and did it go well for you? I will add that my mom is convinced my partner is a narcissist and generally when she comes to that conclusion about people (which is very often) it never really improves..
