New to the group

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

My name is Janet, and I just joined the group.  I have been in therapy for a

while now, and my therapist suggested that I read " Stop Walking on Eggshells. "  

I have been dealing with feelings that involve my stepmom.  I don't know if she

has BPD, as I know she has never been diagnosed, and I since I am not a

therapist, I don't want to do that.  However, as I read the book, she exhibits a

lot of the traits of a BPD.  It's a really long story, but ever since she

married my dad 26 years ago, she hasn't been very nice to me.  I spent years

thinking it was me, that I had done something wrong, that I had done something

to make her hate me.  I am not currently in contact with my dad and stepmom, and

as long as she's in control, I doubt that I will ever talk to my dad again.  I

think he enables her behavior, and, as I have been told, I am the one with the

problem, not them.  As I said, it's a really long story, and I have put the

whole thing in God's hands.  I am working on myself now, and things work out how

they work out.  I hope that I learn things from being in this group.

 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own

understanding.

 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Proverbs 3:5-8
