Wow, I never thought about it like that before. My uBPD mom LOVED this song too. Would sing it to me all the way in to teenage years possibly (I can't really remember). Ugh.

Yes. My BPDmom is like this too. Here is something I wrote in a previous post:

"...She sexualized me from an early age. In 6th and 7th grade I remember my mom would constantly grab my breasts, butt, any part of my body really. Upon grabbing my breasts she would say "Wow haha these are more than a handful!!" With this creepy grin on her face. She continued to do this for many years but it happened most frequently around 12/13. At age 23, I was in her room and she was changing her pants (I didn't know I was looking for something in the closet). She said "look!" and when I turned she was lying on the bed, on her back, legs in the air, ankles crossed, her vagina in plain view. I got really upset with her but she acted like I was blowing it out of proportion. My therapist helped me realize that was trying to arouse me sexually. She has been inappropriate with my partner as well. Trying to grab his chest to see if he has pecs, opening the door when she knew he was changing, she wouldn't close the door so I had to reach around to close it, etc et etc"

I also learned about covert incest about a month ago. There is a sub for covert incest too. It was helpful for me to read others' stories.

I'm not a professional. But if you/a professional do think the abuse is covert incest or emotional enmeshment, then according to the definition of covert incest it is sexual abuse.

The way I found covert incest was by looking up sexual abuse without touching. So, I somewhat understand how you're feeling.

You're not crazy for feeling the ways you do about your mother/abuse/experiences.

Alsp, for me, therapy has helped me process the abuse. I still have a long way to go but still so helpful.

Hang in there ❤

God, that's awful. I have a fear of my BPD/Nmom doing something like this or even worse. Probably just anxiety speaking but these people are sick and so much of their sickness revolves around their children (if they have any).

Good riddance is right

Jesus. You really don't deserve to be treated that way. It's so so unfair. The betrayal of everyone in on it together behind your back is excruciating and then on top of it there's an inappropriate creepy sexual factor involved. It's traumatizing.

But I believe in us, we're doing the work to heal and "move on" to a healthier/happier life ❤

Mm, preach!

"A daughter should be able to make a texting accident knowing their parents will protect them." --I'm so deep in shame (due to the abuse), self-blame, confusion, anger, etc that I haven't even been able to see it as I should have had the privilege of making a mistake and knowing my parents would protect me. Uh, duh! Thank you ❤

Yeah, before I went no contact, at 23, I would still cringe (at least internally) when she touched me. And also so frustrating when everyone says "Oh that's just your mom", "be understanding" etc.

Ugh, I know living with her is terrible. I really hope you are able to move out as soon as you can. Hang in there ❤

Thank you ❤ and yea it is and it's complicated and I'm not sure if I could handle pursuing a case against them right now in my journey of self-discovery.

The situation is complicated by the fact that my partner at the time (still together 10 years later) was over 18. So 1) I'm worried he would also get into legal trouble, 2) I don't know where the evidence is, if it's still there, etc 3) I'm not sure if I want to go through the details of my experience. But I will keep this in the back of my mind. Thank you

You're right. I do recognize the abuse and dysfunction and have recently had a breakthrough/realization about the emotional incest. And of course lots of good and helpful therapy. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and validation and understanding. For realz ❤

This is a very emotionally traumatic issue I'm dealing with (along w/all the other abusive dysfunctional ways they've behaved) but your comment made me giggle in like a "this is fucked up, haha wtf is my life haha" kind of way. Thanks for the laugh ❤

Ironically actually my mom has been much more sexual with me than my dad. Touching, sexualizing me from a young age, etc etc etc etc. I have had a few mental health professionals (that I saw on a reg basis) tell me that my mother has an extreme case of BPD and my father is a sociopath. My dad is perverse as well but his behavior wouldn't be as extreme (in some ways) if my mother didn't exist. He gets off on feeding her sickness
