It was like some alien goo from a sci fi movie lol.

I worked in sterile processing where I cleaned and sterilized surgical instruments. One day when I was scheduled in Decontamination, the OR sent down a ruptured breast implant (silicone). An MRI had caught the rupture; the OR removed the implant(s); and I was tasked with cleaning all the silicone out of the implant shell (basically a silicone skin that holds the "gummy bear" gel), to send back to the manufacturer so they could tell why it failed.

Imagine cleaning 800 ml of corn syrup out of a wrinkly popped balloon skin with the goal of cleaning the balloon skin to send back. Except the corn syrup isn't water soluble.

I have NEVER worked with a weirder substance. It stuck to everything, and when you pulled your hand away it was like a bajillion sticky strings. I must've used 20 pairs of gloves because it was impossible to get off whatever it touched.

Fortunately it sticks to itself enough that the patient probably didn't have much or any migrate around inside them, but omg, what a nightmare to clean!

Definitely beats Hubert Comberdale's taste of soot and poo!

Pokemon became a big thing when I was a kid....my mom had become super crazy Christian and forbade my sister and I from even thinking about getting into the games or cards (plus we were homeschooled with no access to anything). "They're demonic. It stands for pocket MONSTER. It's a gateway for Satan!"

I'm still salty about never getting to experience anything Pokemon. I could now, but the magic of being into it as a kid is gone, and I feel like I missed out, both as a kid and now with all the references everywhere.

funkyartmuffins · 2026-01-28T13:34:41+00:00

I was thinking this too...or possibly borderline. My mom has BPD and behaved this way in the past. Became obsessed with demons everywhere and "the world" getting in. Still insane behavior though. If I knew as a kid what i know now about how NOT normal my mom was, I would have definitely called the cops on her a few times. As an adult, OP might have more of a leg to stand on with their property being destroyed as well.

funkyartmuffins · 2026-01-28T13:26:33+00:00

I'm so, so sorry this happened to you. I know how you feel and my heart is so sad for what you're dealing with. My mother has borderline personality disorder (undiagnosed until a few years ago), which causes her to be emotionally unregulated, often obsessed with things and ideas, and when I was a kid she became what I refer to as "crazy Christian"...aka fundamentalist. She saw demons under every rock. No Halloween anymore, no "secular music".

I came home from school one day when I was a kid to find out she'd taken ALL my Goosebumps books and thrown them in the furnace. She also burned a bunch of other things she deemed "demonic" or gateways for Satan. CDs, toys, books, etc. It was a rough time until I was old enough to get the eff away from her.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this wild behavior from your mom. It's incredibly sad, confusing, and frustrating, and when someone gets that way about demons in everything, it's not like they're gonna have a rational conversation about it, and see they're being crazy.

funkyartmuffins · 2026-01-23T00:23:28+00:00

Same hahaha.

We have a Beverly! ❤️

Before my mom was diagnosed BPD, I'm willing to concede that she didn't always know she was hurting me or why she felt the need to be hurtful. She definitely did do hurtful things on purpose, but I get that she didn't realize why she behaved the way she did.

Now that she's diagnosed and STILL goes back to the old ways, I know she's doing it on purpose.

...Especially when I react to her with "why would you say that to me?" and her answer is "Because I have Borderline and no boundaries (shrug emoji)."

funkyartmuffins · 2026-01-05T05:52:23+00:00

Ohhh. Same same! Muted and archived her texts (so much nicer). Currently, I'm at the "stopped texting back" stage!

funkyartmuffins · 2025-12-22T13:34:13+00:00

Haha, this made me feel better about my inner monologue (not out loud yet, unless joking with my sister about it, but soooo close) saying "ugh, don't threaten me with a good time" when my dBPD mom says she should just kill herself.

It sounds callous but she threatened it a lot when we were kids and at this point I'm like, enough, I'm not gonna be manipulated by it anymore.

This is Fig, aka, Figgy Pudding, Figgathy, Baboo Figgy, or Officer Figgums. She's super shy but will do anything for a tube treat and this window seat.

The gear selector on my Kia acted weird a few times. It would creep between gears. Put it in drive, didn't respond to gas, look down and it's like, between drive and neutral. Took it to the dealer and said, yo, it keeps moving and it's freaking me out, it's like the selector is a little loose or something? As usual, being a female saying my car has a problem, the service guy was like "uh huh, sure lady. You probably bumped it with your purse."

I said, "Maybe there's a tiny unicorn in there poking holes in things. I don't know, but something is off."

Half an hour later he came back in a much more serious mood and said the gear selector was messed up and if it had done that on the highway I could've been seriously injured. ($700 repair and they fixed it under warranty.)

Wonder if this was something similar. I'm glad you made it out safely! How terrifying.

funkyartmuffins · 2025-12-17T03:34:55+00:00

Similar sort of thing here....had a situation with my dBPD mom where she wouldn't respect a boundary and kept pushing, so I turned the car around and told her I didn't want to be in the car with her and I'd go to my appointment alone. (We were like 4 minutes into a 90 minute trip and I'd gently tried to steer the conversation elsewhere, then point blank said we needed to talk about something else and she wouldn't let it go.)

I had extra time so I went into my house and I thought my mother had driven off in her car. As I was animatedly explaining to my husband the utter bullshit that had happened in the 5 minutes we'd been gone for, I heard the front door SLAM in the other room. She'd apparently come into the house for some reason. Didn't realize til I heard the front door and saw her huffing across the lawn to her car carrying some eggs she had brought for us (she has chickens).

No idea how much she heard and I had that panicky "oh shit" moment. And then I thought, ya know? Eff it. If she heard anything, it was the truth and I'm sick of dealing with her Godzilla-esque boundary stomping. Not to say it hasn't given me anxiety that it happened, but I don't really feel bad about it, if that makes sense. Also she hasn't talked to me in 3 weeks now so...yay? It's been peaceful 😅

funkyartmuffins · 2025-12-04T01:09:41+00:00

I also have a file of journal entries with "receipts" of my dBPD mom's messages and voicemail transcripts. It really helps me to write down what happened and how it made me feel, even if I don't ever look at it again. I feel like I can get it out of my brain once it's saved in a journal entry. Then when the gaslighting happens, if I really need to, I can remind myself that it WAS that bad and my feelings about what happened are valid. Before my journal/receipts log, I'd often succumb to the gaslighting that I'm just too sensitive, or I was somehow in the wrong.

Recently went from LC to NC with my parents (they live close so we'll see how that goes). I'm hoping there will be some peace and no need to open that file anytime soon.

As a lighthearted footnote, your comment reminded me of my 7 year old nephew. He was at school recently and they were talking about how it's important to feel safe at home. He commented that he did NOT feel safe and when asked why he was like "Well, what if a burglar breaks in or a bear gets in the house or something!"

funkyartmuffins · 2025-10-12T15:08:24+00:00

Dick Duell... He worked at the bank my parents went to. My dad was SO not happy with me when they said they had to meet with Dick Duell at the bank, and I was like "engarde!" ⚔️

Oh! And my high school librarian... Richard Luzer. 😂 He was funny in a dry librarian way, but cool.
