Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm having brunch tomorrow with a close cousin who will probably be one of the few family members I will continue to have in my life. The last time I saw her I told her how bad things had gotten with my family because they wanted to force me back into a career I didn't want to go into. She was very supportive and I mentioned some of the *really* crazy stuff that went on during my childhood, although at that point I hadn't put together that nada was bpd. I'm seeing her now after having read " Understanding the Borderline Mother " , after going LC and now NC, after getting into intensive therapy and going on medication. I'm not sure how much/what to tell her about all of this. During our last conversation she was floored by everything. Nada is very concerned with appearances and she had no idea those things were going on. She was very supportive although I know that she looked up to my nada while she was growing up. The issue I'm most worried about is explaining LC/NC to her. I'm not sure how she will react to that. How have you all approached this with close family? I would love any suggestions!
