Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hello: I just joined your group. I've worked through a workbook for adult children of people with BPD, and read Walking on Eggshells. I'm now looking for ways for coping with what effects my BPD parent had on me and moving on. I really want methods for moving on. I'm in a relationship now that I want to last, and I'd really like my issues to be over. I looked at BPDOnline and googled like mad, but I'm not finding any groups for adult children of BPD, and therapists who specialize in it are a) so rare there is only one 1 hour and 20 minutes away from me and not free. I will sincerely appreciate any advice you all have, what worked for you, what you think would work. Please reply. I have looked at your posts. I know exactly where you're coming from. I'll be looking back and writing to you all when I have more time. I'd like to share more with you all, too. Sincerely, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Welcome Becky. There are a few others groups like this one, but so far I think this one offers the most, well, freedom. This Group's owner Randi Kreger is the author of Stop Walking On Eggshells, and she simply lets us speak openly and honestly about our past and current issues RE having a bpd parent. Its important to me, at least, to have a place where I can be completely open about my struggles, pain, damage, etc., RE having been raised by a mother with bpd (and very likely npd, plus obsessive-compulsive pd) and share what I'm currently dealing with and feeling RE my relationship with my now-elderly mother. I am in virtually NO Contact with her at this point, for the sake of my own mental health. That's another thing I like about this Group: there is no judgment about one's decision to remain in contact, or choosing to go no contact. No agendas, here, hidden or otherwise. So, share when you can and want to, or not; its your choice. But yes indeed you've found a place full of fellow adult children of borderline pd parents here, and we " get it.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Becky, Welcome to the group. You'll definitely find support and " like-mindedness " here. It's been an oasis from the craziness for me. When I've had a horrible moment/day/weekend with my mother, this is where I come because, truly, nobody else gets it!
