Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 So I just got off the phone with my mother, and the worst part of it was that she wasn't acting manipulative or mean or crazy. She was really reasonable and normal. I absolutely HATE those kinds of conversations! I wish she would just act like somebody who I'm justified in cutting out of my life. When she doesn't, when she goes all maternal and martyr-esque on me, I feel like the world's most ungrateful daughter. I feel like maybe *I'm* the one with BPD instead of her! Anybody else ever have a similar experience with their BPD parent? It's almost to the point where I don't want to be around her because the times when she acts like a normal parent are WORSE than the times she acts angry, selfish, manipulative, or abusive. At least then I know what I'm dealing with and I can resist. How do you resist a mother who's saying to you, " I just want us to have a relationship " and " I've always loved you " , even if you remember some of the horrible things that have happened in the past? As long as she's living, am I ever going to be okay? Psyclone47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
