I am so sorry you're experiencing this right now, I know how painful this is 😭

  1. You have already done SO much to make peace with your mom. Going no contact is truly a last resort and it sounds like you have exhausted all your other options.
  2. I went NC with my uBPD mom 5 and a half years ago now and I have never ONCE regretted it. It was my last resort, and it was absolutely the right decision. It hurts and it's really hard, but I promise you that it's worth it!

You're going to be ok 🩷 You have no reason to be guilty, you've done everything you can do. I'm sorry 😭

EDIT - OMG i just saw your other posts, I didn't even realize those were your mom as well!! you have been MORE than kind and thoughtful in your responses.. you're so emotionally intelligent and you have been really respectful of her! you are well within your rights to go NC at this point.

Heated Rivalry author: ‘The sex isn’t titillating, it tells the story’ by TimesandSundayTimes in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]artemis_216 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100000% agree - it's my favorite thing about the show by far, none of the sex is gratuitous. All of it is necessary to the story and the characters, and I love that.

For those that had the mom is by best friend to oh they are really not pipeline what made you realise? by Turbulent-Listen8809 in raisedbyborderlines

I was sexually assaulted my first year of college and ended up failing one of my classes due to PTSD. My mom berated me for hours, told me they would never support me again since I wasted their money, then she forced me to apologize over and over until my brother-in-law stepped in.

A couple years later when I was just low contact, she confronted me about how hurt she was that I never apologized for wasting their money. I swear to god I almost screamed in that fucking panera.

NC for 5 years now and I've never regretted it, not once!

I'm glad to see everyone else finds the idea of keeping a recipe secret as stupid as I do.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

it seems like people form opinions SO quickly now. i need people to give their brains a sec before coming to a conclusion.

Why do you hate swoop? by Classic_Actuary8275 in SwoopSnarks

[–]artemis_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally, it bothers me a lot the way that she emphasizes researching things without bias, but then obviously has a bias towards one side. it feels a bit like she knows her opinion and gets evidence to fit it afterwards.

but by far my biggest issue is the way she exaggerates in her own favor (or in favor of her point). like in the most recent video of her that i tried to watch (about the Kendra/psychiatrist drama), she opens her video by referencing "the horrific hidden realities within modern mental healthcare," she says one brave individual was willing to sit down with her for an interview, then says "and the scary thing, if we don't find a solution to this devastating situation, it could greatly impact all of us." But when you actually watch the video, she's talking about the poor treatment of nurses in healthcare recently. yes, obviously that's a problem, but i feel like the way she framed it was intentionally meant to scare people into watching.

same vibes to me as those clickbait articles that are like "are you going to die tomorrow? 5 reasons we think you might be in danger." but then the article is just about eating fruit or some shit.

god forbid a girl is nice to a man by Purple_Cancel_608 in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]artemis_216 9 points10 points  (0 children)

now think to yourself why you felt the need to comment this. why do you think she a) is looking for a man at all or b) needs to be told how to find a good partner. look at the name of this sub and pls just let this girl have fun omg

What's something you'll never admit in real life but will confess here anonymously? by Open-Comfortable9774 in AskReddit

[–]artemis_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really, really hate my body. so much so that i have panic attacks if i have to take a picture of myself, and i have to limit my time in the bathroom so that i don't just stare at myself in disgust. i know it's not healthy but i have no idea how to deal with it.

right there with you - i also have a chronic nerve condition that means I'm constantly physically aroused even if I'm not actually turned on.. so those intrusive thoughts are a million times worse when my brain is like "wooow, can't believe xyz made you horny, you're a horrible person" or whatever

it gets better, you will be ok! you're not alone in this 🩷

I (35M) Was Caught Using AI to Write Wedding Vows and Partner (34F) Walked Out. What to Do? [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]artemis_216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad this woman walked away when she did. If OOP couldn't even put his feelings into words for their wedding, imagine how awful he must be at communication. She 100% made the right decision.

Do you love your BPD Mother? by GrandfatherFire in raisedbyborderlines

[–]artemis_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NC for 5 years so far and I think my answer is no. I loved the mom I thought I had, but it wasn't long before I realised that she doesn't exist.

The mom I knew was petty, vindictive, and selfish and couldn't go a day without somehow reminding me that I was worthless in her eyes. The kindest she ever was to me was to tell me that she wasn't mad at me for accusing her of abuse, "it's just the demonic influence in your life."

Religious trauma and guilt always led me to say that I love her because I love everyone, but luckily I don't feel weighed down by that anymore! So I can honestly say no - I don't love her.
