Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 My father, who I beleive had a mother with BPD, subsequently married my mother with BPD (and paranoid schitzophrenia), then ran screaming from that, leaving me with her at the age of 4, only to marry another one, more devious, less violent when I was a teenager. I've always viewed him as a Dishrag dad (ok, since I found this site) but now he appears to be " hoovering " me back into a dysfunctional situation with him and his wife. I've been LC since Novemberish, and they've been sending my kids birthday presents etc. For my eldest daughters birthday, I sent pictures & a thank you. Got no response. For my eldest daughters piano recital, I sent pictures and video. Got no response (you'd think that a proud grandpa would be eager to call and congradulate her!). For my youngest daughters birthday, I sent nothing. I thought EFF you if you want to be like that. I got a snotty e-mail that basically said " its been thirty days since her birthday and I haven't heard if she likes her present " . I know that it doesn't look like much, but there was an underlying current in the email that set me off. My gut response is to get nasty of course. I felt the anxiety, heart racing, fear, desire for acceptance etc. My husband talked me down from sending the nasty e-mail that I had written. Instead, i wrote that I had put it away to be worn on special occasions. He responds that it's for daily wear. Get this - he sends a 4 year old a pretty pendant and expects her to wear it daily. Um, NO. She's FOUR!! She puts teeth marks on DVD's. SHE'S FOUR!!! She's far more destructive than her older sister, she's clumsier, she's more adventurous....I recently had her at the ER for falling down the stairs and breaking her nose. She's a klutz! She'd likely strangle herself with it, or she'd take it off and use it as a slingshot, try to feed it down the heat registers, use it as a weapon against her sister! Anyway, venting here, but what i want to know is, is it possible for two BPD's to be married to one another? My husband beleives that he's just being fed the BS from the step nada monster, has no real sense of self and is just regurgitating what she is saying.
