Guest guest Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I've been in therapy for the past 12 years dealing with all the damage my BP nada caused, and while I've made great progress in areas of my life like career, marriage, motherhood, and just general stability, the one thing I can't seem to break out of is forming friendships with really dysfunctional people. This is something I've talked to my therapist about but she just suggests places for me to meet new people and not how to break the cycle of dysfunction. I consistently make friends with women that are either children of BPs or have some type of severe emotional baggage they refuse to get help for. I end up becoming their personal therapist and despite begging them to seek professional help they choose to remain unhappy and bring me down with them. I recently ended a relationship with my BEST friend b/c I couldn't handle being hurt over and over but then got really depressed b/c it was like losing a sister. So I'm wondering if other children of BPs also have trouble finding healthy friendships and if so, how do you deal with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
