Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 i have many of the " fleas " that follow being the non-BPD daughter of a BPD nada. I keep trying to win her approval and to please her. I have the choice to pass her house on the way to and from my doctor appointments. I struggle with avoiding further interaction with someone who regularly hurts me. I find myself pulling into the drive way and having my muscles tighten and knots begin in my stomach. I convince myself that " this time " things will be different. Occasinally, they are and we actually have a good visit. Other times, I leave in tears and swear that I will not go back for more abuse. My husband has commented many times that he would not keep going back for more. I am an only child and feel so obligated to help her. I wrestle with my memories of a painful childhood and then with guilt over how I will feel when she is no longer around. I am in therapy and just now learning how to set boundaries.
