Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am so relieved to read so many messages that validate my feelings about my own mother, or " momster " as someone so perfectly called their mom. I am 40 years old with 3 children, and I have not seen my Mom (except by running in to her) in 5 years. It was the best decision I ever made. It has been hard for other people in my life to realize that I had no choice, as people who have never dealt with a parent with BPD have NO idea or comprehension on what it means to be the child of one. But this is a fabulous community, I stumbled upon it and and so glad I did. Thank you to you all, for your words have helped me realize I am not alone. Most recently, I have had some conversations with one of my sisters that she thinks she may want to reconnect with our Mom (I am the youngest of 3 and none of us have contact with her). In fact, she wants to think about inviting her to her son's high school graduation this June! I keep reminding her that our Mom has ruined every life cycle event that we have ever had, yet she is still considering it. Makes me start to think my sister is sick too....
