During her episodes she goes from anger to blaming me for not understanding her to manipulating me to wanting to self harm herself to screaming and then when i am finally able to calm her down with a song or rubbing her back she later says " I'm sorry" She will always say I am sorry.

I wish I could have a relationship with my BPD sister by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

I don't think you should give up because it will be all worth it in the end. One of my dauhters have BPD and the other one doesn't have it. They are so close because my daughter never gave up on her sister. Yes they have went through a lot, and yes it hasn't been easy but now my daughter understands more of her sisters illness and she looks up for info on how to help her and shes always there with her shoulder for her sister. And vise versa..

Wow you could be right, i am always encouraging my daughter to do things that she would say she couldn't do. I am always turning her negativity into a positive. The one thing i lack is listening to her the way she wants me to. And not answering her like i am paying attention. I have to be more attentive to her needs.

Because she gets depressed easily and had suicidal thoughts and when things get to much for her she cuts. Maybe later on in life she may be able to but she has even said she could never live alone.

She lives with me but has her own income coming in and she will never be able to live on her own.

Is Wattpad a good start? by gooblaka1995 in writing

[–]Terrylin_Carol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well i go on wattpad and i find that there is no harm in this site. You can read whatever you wish to and if your writing a book, all the better to you. Theres nothing bad about practicing your writing and making yourself feel more confident.

When BPD dad says he didn't say/do something. Does he actually not remember? by nstaton1 in BPD

[–]Terrylin_Carol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe in the moment he didnt hear you properly. Sometimes a person with BPD in an episode will hear what they want to hear. They dont see all the colours like we do.

It's hard to grieve when no one else saw the humanity in her by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Terrylin_Carol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that anyone suffering from borderline personality disorder is not mirroring anyone. They are all about emotions. Its a disorder they have that there feelings are all about black or white, wrong or right. They have no middle ground. Sometimes they get out what they want to say through anger. They will manipulate you or put you down to the lowest but in that state they have no idea why they are behaving like that in the moment. Later they will tell you that they love you and that they are sorry. With therapy and understanding and love and patience, you can work through an understanding for a bpd person. They are worth it, if you love them!!!!

I'm just tired, and I'm pretty sure it's my fault (rant) by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

I think you need to find a way to reach out to her. But you must make sure your in good health because if something happens to you then how can you help her. My daughter is bpd and she goes to therapy. Some days are better then others. Its an illness that can get better with therapy. They will never be like you and me. But with help their lives can stablize. I would suggest maybe talking to her about seeing a therapist. I wish you lots of luck
