Nada is a, well, isn't a mother... a " not-a-mother " Essentially, a " mother " with

BPD. Fada is the father equivalent.

When I first joined, there were a lot of posts about going NC with Nada. I

thought NC (no contact) meant North Carolina, so I was very VERY confused about

how so many people knew this " Nada " person in North Carolina

If you look under " Files " (left menu column thing), you'll find a document with

all the abbreviations. Quick review:

Nada - Borderline mother

Fada - Borderline father

BP - Person with Borderline Personality Disorder

KO - Kid of a BP

FO - family of origin

NC - No contact

LC - Limited contact

Now she is in so much in denial she is agreeing to seek help to prove she is ok.

Yesterday at the mention of a psychiatrist she said " bring it on " !

expect it not to work or make any difference. She has spent 60 years on this
