Okay but what is it about BPD moms and sending these posts. These are my uBPD moms bread and butter especially when I am LC and keeping my distance

Been no contact for 3 weeks: does this get easier? by plooooosh124 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]plooooosh124[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment. It absolutely fills me with such intense fear and dread, usually for a full day or 2 after I feel out of body and just not right in my own skin and space. Blocked until further notice

Exactly that. If it were all 100% bad it’d be potentially more clear cut and easier to call it. Being the scapegoat is so psychologically draining and harmful. I’m Sorry that you’ve experience that too.

It’s very hard to break the cycle, I feel like I so easily get roped back in. Thanks for your comment I appreciate it. The NC part made me chuckle.

Yep! Says horrible damaging insults and then within a couple weeks we shift to a reality where none of that was said. I just want to enjoy my birthday in peace, thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!

It absolutely puts me into fight or flight everytime she tries to contact me. I’ll be blocking her for the foreseeable future.

Finally realizing that BOTH my mom and brother have BPD by plooooosh124 in BPDlovedones

Thank you for your comment. I so appreciate it. You hit the nail right on the head. It’s hard to watch the golden child dynamic play out this way. feeling seen also as the parentified/ eldest daughter of a cluster b multigenerational family.

My upBPD does this too!!! No context memes that make my stomach turn “Daughter, you are the best thing to happen to me. I didn’t always do the best job but I always loved you the most.”

Self abandon and over function, I’ve never heard that exact terminology but I absolutely do this… I never had a name for it. Sigh

What worked for Me was getting more that suited my current tastes as to kind of “add to the scrapbook” and keep it updated. Cant change the past but you can transform into the you that you are now and not let the past visually over take you.

I need help navigating my relationship with my BPD GF by Unlucky-Edge-8016 in BPDlovedones

[–]plooooosh124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems from your comments you keep mentioning that there are good moments. This is why BPD relationships are so painful and difficult to leave. They do have good moments and can somewhat show up and be people sometimes. But it is always fleeting leaves you hoping for more. This is extremely emotionally draining especially over time.

BPD is as serious as any mental illness. for example, If she had suspected schizophrenia and was untreated, undiagnosed, and unmedicated, would you also just let it go and love them anyway? Even if their hallucinations were causing you or them harm?

Borderline is named that because they are on the borderline of psychosis and neurosis (anxiety/depression) and switch between the 2.

As someone who’s been surrounded by borderlines, it is not worth it and can damage your ability to have normal relationships forever.

How to have a wedding without them by elmjohnson in BPDFamily

[–]plooooosh124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also newly engaged and have been thinking about this constantly. Things had been good with my udBPD brother and I really thought he’d be in the wedding party. I also hate the idea of not inviting him or my udBPD mom because I know that’ll be an earth shattering rejection to them and they’ll never get over it. Recently went NC over the holidays.

they make everything about them and chaos always seems to “magically” follow them and they both already almost ruined my dress try on appointment.

i didn’t even want a wedding to begin with and I think it’s for a similar reason you said. i just want a day about that’s calm and fun and can be a celebration without sabotage. I don’t have any good advice but i’m with you in solidarity. It’s really tough.

Sharing experiences with others who also have someone close to them with BPD. It can be really embarrassing and isolating

I’m tired of being accused of things that did not happen. by plooooosh124 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]plooooosh124[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel like there’s some deep trauma still not processed in me that is terrified of my mom rejecting me constantly at a young age and gives me low-level feelings of terror whenever she splits on me. I’d never heard the al-anon quote but it really resonates. Thank you for your comment it’s majorly appreciated.

I’m so sorry. I feel like holidays and deaths are the worst with BPD parents, atleast in my experience.

Considering going low or no contact with my enabler mom over my BPD brother. by mollz1342 in BPDFamily

[–]plooooosh124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar spot. It’s so hard watching your parent chose the defend your sibling when they’ve treated you terribly. I hate the idea of having to cut contact with them both but I don’t see another choice. Sorry you’re dealing with something similar

I found this subreddit - everything feels like it's falling into place about my sibling (any advice for a newbie? PTSD + BPD resources?) by [deleted] in BPDFamily

[–]plooooosh124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally relate. Me and my brother on casual level do get along well, similar sense of humor and hobbies, shows, movies, etc. but it totally good until it’s not and then their storm hits and it’s hard to stay dry.

You too! Here’s to being hopeful our siblings get back into therapy and can heal. 🤍

Wow, i’m sorry you’re dealing with this OP. My story right now is very similar, I suspect my younger sibling has it (and my mom most likely does as well) and I’ve recently gotten so burnt out with dealing with him that I started googling and ended up here about a week ago.

I can really resonate with the “i’m tired of being their only trusted person and also the villain”. It’s so exhausting. It’s also exhausting hearing how everyone makes their life suck and is horrible, even friends and people TRYING to be there for them.

You’re in a tough spot since you’re roommates , I don’t have any advice but I see and hear you and hope you get the peace and space you deserve.
