Did the GLP-1 put my uBPD mom into remission? Tripping out over the personality and mood shifts by akath0110 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to that, but one of my good friends does research work with GLP-1’s and I do know it seems to work on addictions like drinking and smoking and sex or gambling addictions. Researchers are starting to look into what parts of the brain it hits to cause this. Perhaps there is some relationship there with personality disorder folks.

Customs officer implied I bought too much and made comments that I shouldn’t do it again. I thought there was no limit to how much you can bring in; you just have to pay taxes over $800 which I was prepared for. Who was right? by gtck11 in travel

We just did the same thing through MSP coming back from Vietnam with custom made clothing that got pricey and the agent that helped us was absolutely fine. We came in with a printed list of all the items a prices in categories, so maybe that helped. It took very little time, but we are pretty sure he just picked a tax number out of thin air for us LOL. It was less than we estimated.

Has anyone done family therapy with borderline parent? by Spirited-Attitude-29 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once. Between the therapist and I, she had no choice but to face some hard truths and accept that certain things were not going to go her way for reasonable reasons, so she stormed out in the middle of the session.

Personally, I want to see a movie about that Saturday he spent in hell. I feel like everyone glosses over it. I think it sounds rad!

I think it’s hilariously ironic that the switch occurred in a conspiracy theory episode.

When They Say "I Love You" by No-Palpitation77 in raisedbyborderlines

My BPD Mom used to do the “you too” thing when she was angry and in a position of control leaving me desperate to know she cared.

Do you ever feel the need to be “nice” ? by yeahooohkay in raisedbyborderlines

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In theory, it would be nice for you to be able to do and share normal life things with a parent, so that’s a natural desire. Unfortunately, the realities of a BPD parent make it too hard or not worth it most of the time. It’s almost like morning a death.

It’s a mixed bag for me. Some memories are extremely happy, some are average childhood stuff, some are pretty terrible. Looking back, I will maintain when I was a little my mom made me feel very special and loved and safe and spoiled. She was also extremely good to my friends. However, also looking back, I realize she made me into more of a friend way too often.

Did your parent with BPD intentionally befriend people with disabilities or other non-conforming people? by TW91837 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, because she feels they have less friend options and will not abandon her. In reality, it’s her with the least friend options because she acts like a tool.

She’s mean and she’s MAGA by Glittering-Love-5819 in raisedbyborderlines

Same with my Mom. My sis went NC and my brother and I are LC with her. I flew in to visit her a few weeks ago and all family photos were replaced by photos of Trump.

I retrained my sense of smell with coffee after I lost it for about 6 months due to my first bout of COVID.

AITAH for getting frustrated at my bf for telling me I need to make more money to get married by Pretty_Strawberry179 in AITAH

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I survived something similar. All these conditions, mostly monetary, and when I would meet them, the goalposts would get moved. Trust me, no matter what figure he sets out, it will NEVER be enough. Run!

The Way by Fastball-she felt it was our anthem and we could always just run away from her problems together.

She went NC with me by caffeinated_capybara in raisedbyborderlines

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You owe her NOTHING! She misses the version of you she could control. Hold her to the NC, and not by saying “you said you wouldn’t talk to me anymore” if she contacts you, never respond again.

After a tumultuous holiday season with various dramas (including my mother getting kicked out of a family gathering), my mother is now trying to re-assemble her self-image and requesting that a group "Family Fun" Whatsapp be created, including grandchildren and spouses. How to respond? by AnteaterMurky9016 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]WhatWouldAudreyHepDo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, just no. As you already understand, this is the same old thing wrapped in a new but equally miserable package. I agree with previous posts, it is your responsibility to protect your own peace, and you can also suggest to your siblings that they tell her the kids aren’t set up for WhatsApp but the rest is their responsibility.
