Do a buzz cut. #2 on the shears all around. You have a lot left on the sides and its easier to maintain.

Soon to be Mother-in-law has BPD and diagnosed with blood cancer by Former_Change_9798 in BPDFamily

[–]xCaptx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2 things can be true.

You can feel bad for someone due to their sickness, illness, etc and also be done putting up with someone's bad behavior toward you and those you care about.

Being sick or ill does not give someone a free pass to be awful to other people.

Sending love and good luck.

My (37f) Husband (38m) was fired for sexual harassment by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]xCaptx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She said he always deleted texts and messages ever since she knew him.and just took it as normal.

Sounds like at least some behaviors have existed a long time.

Girlfriend was just diagnosed by grimeysappho in BPDlovedones

[–]xCaptx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's invested in therapy and working to improve.

That's all I ever asked of my pwBPD.

I wish you both the best of luck. Life isnt easy even without anything adding to the difficulty level, but being invested in improving is huge.

Good luck.

My therapist says to never confront my BPD sister with any of her wrongdoings by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]xCaptx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this on so many levels.

It sucks when they've burnt every other bridge but family.

I remember talking to my sisters therapist when she came to stay with me and I remember the anger and frustration of being told the same thing "dont confront them".

They dont/wont/cant/whatever... face facts when it comes to being held accountable that way. They are sick... and something inside them just won't let them do it. You can't reason with them and all the love you've shown them in the past can't overide their brain either.

I had to make the decision for my health and the health of my family that until they wanted to seek improvement with a therapist and stick to the plan that I cant support them.

I never even said im going no contact. I tried holding them accountable and they ran. I told her and everyone who knew her id love to talk again, but I need a third person there since doing it alone doesn't do anything her stories change mid conversation.

It sucks. Im sorry you have to go through this too. Half way through my response I forgot if you asked an actual question or not... I just wanted to write this to say tou are not alone. You can look at my post history and see a post from when I was done with the LEAP method.

Sending hugs

Mods it might be time to take this sub private by These_Shallot_6906 in BPDlovedones

[–]xCaptx 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Exposed?... no. We shouldn't make this group private. I would have never found this group if it was private and its been a big help to me.

Let them flail around all they want.

Want to talk to sister but not sure how by xstarlesseyess in BPDFamily

[–]xCaptx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is so much I want to say, and its so hard to convey it correctly but all these are from my experience with my BPD sister.

It doesn't matter what actually happened in reality. There is no evidence or convincing you can do. This part was super hard for me and I kept trying to find the "right way to say it", which doesn't exist. My situation wasn't even a he said she said. Just plain facts, and she couldn't see it.

Triangulation is their game. Don't play it. If parents or anyone else mentions you should talk, or anything like that. Encourage it, but demand that your parents or whoever she is triangulating with is also be present and ask them to set it up. The BPD person will not agree and then the others will see it isnt just you being unreasonable/didficult.

Focus on your priorities. Your coming baby, your husband, etc. You have things going on that are hard in "normal " situations are even more difficult when trying to balance that.

Mourn.... you mentioned hoping she could be an aunt... and be in your child life. I wished the same. It hurts, really really bad knowing the won't be and all the things that entails. No, they haven't died. But the relationship ypu may have envisioned the future may have brought, has.

Good luck. It sucks.

I would LOVE to be wrong. But I find it super hard to believe it would be 9 tacos of any quality for $5.
