What do you do when the rest of the family doesn't want to know about it?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have recently sought counselling with a psychologist to help work through the

issues of growing up. After identifying situation and behaviours, the

psychologist and I are pretty certain that my mother has BPD. But no-one else in

the family wants to know about it. They believe everything she says, even though

she has been caught making things up. I can't try and build my self-esteem and

have a relationship with my mother right now, but my family chooses to believe

her lies and are making me out to be the bad guy. I am afraid that I am going to

lose my whole family, but if I am ever going to have any self-respect and

consider myself to have any worth, I need to get out of this relationship, at

least for awhile. Any thoughts / advice? It sounds like you are all a lot

further through the process with your parents and I am only at the beginning.
