Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi all, I'm new to this support group and i hope i'm doing this posting correctly. After discovering 4 years ago in therapy that my mom had BPD(with narcissism), I'm wanting to join a group to find some other people " like me " . After many painful years and attempts to keep my mother in my life, i am going on 3 years of NC with her. I'm the middle of 3 girls and i have one sister i'm really close to and one sister(the all-good) that has taken my mom's side and refuses to have anything to do with me anymore. Growing up, i always knew something was wrong with my mom and i was thrilled to find out 4 years ago that there was a name for it! I finally had validation and explanations after all those years i suffered physical, emotional and verbal abuse from her. I have been in therapy for 4 years and have a wonderful therapist that has been like a guardian angel to me. Currently in therapy, i'm working on beating my anxiety disorder and depression i've gotten as a result in all of this. Does anyone else suffer from anxiety and depression being the child of a borderline? Are there any books you guys recommend i read? I've read ALL the ones on borderline moms and am pretty well versed on the condition. Although i've tried several times to make ammends with my mom for the sake of my kids to know their grandmother, reality is starting to set in that my mom is NEVER going to be in my life in any real way. It still hurts though. Hope i csan find support here---i feel so alone sometimes in my group of friends and even with my hubby who has a wonderful, healthy family system. Thanks!
