BPD Parents and Family Members.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I've been a member of this site for a while, but have refrained from posting due

to a lack of response to my initial post and I wasn't sure what to say. I read

posts daily and I feel for all of you who have a parent(s) with BPD. My mother

(or nada? Have issues with the terms used.) is diagnosed with BPD as well as

PTSD and Bi-polar disorder. It is quite obvious that not only her, but her

brothers and sisters (11 in total including her) all have either BPD and/or NPD

(some are not diagnosed). What I find strange is that not only their children,

but their spouses have adapted traits of BPD. I find it hard to deal with

because I feel like mental illness is consuming my entire family. My biggest

issue is with my younger sister. She is very narcissitic and quite insensitive,

she has no issues with saying whatever comes to mind regardless of consequences

and she doesn't seem to be able to see how her current actions will affect her

in the future. She lies to suit her needs, I'm usually the only one who gets the

true story, but she's destroyed her relationship with our parents as well as

friends and now is walking the fine line with her boyfriend. Does anyone else

have this issue with a sibling? I feel kind of out of place here since my family

dynamic is a lot different than those who frequently post, but I figured I`d

post this since I haven`t read a post along these lines. Thanks for reading and

have a nice day.

CR.
