Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I've talked before on this thread about what my feelings might be if Nada died. Sad yes, because I know that she does love me, and she even did many amazing things for me, but also free, and relieved, because then I wouldn't have to do the work it takes to have her in my life anymore. But I believe there's a flip side to all this: my therapist, for one, believes that if we don't resolve issues with people while they're alive, we are stuck with those same issues once the person is gone. Now, I disagree with her on this, because I believe that, on my end, I've worked out the issues as much as is possible. Nada is always going to be her crazy-ass self, and that can never be resolved, only managed. For those of you whose Nadas have died, did it bring you peace, or merely problems of a different sort?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 jgar, I don't agree with your therapist. We Acons are forced to solve our problems unilaterally. I find that opinion irritating and limiting. Hope I'm not being irritating with the forcefulness of my opinion. > > > I've talked before on this thread about what my feelings might be if Nada > died.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 My nada is dying and it will be any time now the hospice nurse tells me. She hasn't eaten or drank anything for the nurse for a few days now and barely drank from a sponge for my friend yesterday biting down on it and only said " I want to die " . I can tell you that because this isn't over yet it isn't giving me any peace, but I think in the end it will give me tremendous peace. I think we all should look at our nadas as severely wounded children in adults' bodies and as such feel empathy for them and let it go. I have done that these last few days and it seems to help me.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi jgar: This is a very interesting post and I do have experience from the fada standpoint. The minute a Flying Monkey let me know that fada had passed, I felt stirrings of liberation. Your therapist would probably have some name for my unresolved issues that only allowed my freedom contingent upon fada's death, but I don't think it's all in my head. When there is a negative person, as closely connected as father/daughter, continually and unremittingly thinking of you negatively, as a bad person, those " vibes " are being broadcast spiritually, on some level, and I always felt them. But after he died, the broadcast stopped. I have seen positive changes in my life and health now that fada has moved on to wherever he's gone. As for your therapist thinking it's necessary to work things out with a person before they die, he/she needs to add " if they are of sound mind, " to that sentence. I believe you have it right--that as a KO, I can only work out my end and it will NEVER be resolved with a PD, that's why they're PDs!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Jgar: Really glad you asked this question and am looking forward to the responses. I've wondered this myself but was too chicken to ask it. I think I'm going to be relieved. I think I will also greive for the mother I never had, but primarily, I think I'll be relieved. I guess I'll know when I get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I will also be interested in some insight here. I sometimes think I wish Nada would die so I would not feel the anxiety of what if's. I also think when we decide to go NC there is a certain amount of grieving done at this stage as well. The only thing is she is still alive and I don't want to live with regrets when she does. I often think about going to her funeral and having all those flying monkeys looking at me with daggers like the bad daughter.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 AFB, this is very interesting to me as I too get " the broadcast " from both my mother and father. Negative vibes in stereo. I often wonder about what damage that may do and have tried a number of methods from different belief systems to try to counteract it. I also have some guilt about my own broadcast as sometimes the negative emotions are so intense on my side when I get triggered by them. Did you ever take any steps to deal with psychic problem while your fada was alive? And thanks for sharing that it stopped after he died and his spirit did not trouble you. Being haunted is a worry of mine. > > Hi jgar: > This is a very interesting post and I do have experience from the fada standpoint.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 , I also worry about being haunted by my mom after she dies. I know this is irrational, but I actually verbalized this to my sis. It's interesting to see someone else feels the same way. Wow! Annie 2 > > > > Hi jgar: > > This is a very interesting post and I do have experience from the fada standpoint.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Jgar, vespacarina? What should I call you? A few comments on your thread penned here. In one sense , your therapist is correct. Issues that we do not resovle with other people prior to their death are not going to be resolved. Thank you for that observation, Captain Stating the Incredibly Obvious. Well, yea, once they are dead, all reconciliation work is over. So, yes, I believe we should do all we can to resolve difficult issues in our relationships while we can. But resolving issues with a Borderline does not necessarily mean fixing them. It may, and very often does, mean making our best, good faith effort to reach peace on them. Then, when it becomes obvious they will continue to violate our boundaries, continue the manipulative and semi psychotic behaviors that are our norm, choosing the hard but healthy path of doing first what is best and healthy for us. That most often involves some degree of separation and very firm boundaries. A good analogy might be , in so far as possible , live at peace with all men. For the guy who kicks you in the kiester each and every time you meet, of course, it is not possible. I was in training this weekend for Critical Incident Stress Management teams. Our instructor was an LPC. He asked at one point, have any of you had any experience with Borderlines. I had to laugh out loud! He was relating this to drowning people who want to pull down their rescuer to climb on top of them. The rescuer will do whatever it takes, including backing away and letting them go under to maintain his own safety. I asked him how many Borderlines he was willing to treat at a time. I have several friends and associates who are counselors, and all of them restrict the number of BPD pts they will treat. This gentleman answered at once " I don t treat Borderlines. " So, if it were my therapist making such a statement, I would ask the question, " How many Borderlines have you treated? In fact, how many are you treating presently? " If the answer is none, or I don t treat BPD s, then I would say gently, then know what the hell you are talking about before you talk nonsense. Licensed Professional Counselors sometimes will not deal with these folks because they are so difficult. So don t blandly toss out such advice, unless you have treated BPD s and BP families and really know what it is you are suggesting. In responce to the other part of your thread, yes, my mom died in July of 2009. There was a mixture of feelings, many associated with FOG. I was sad, relieved, mad, disappointed that she was BP to the end, that I was never able to fix her. I have recently been seeing my T for severe depression. Actually just been feeling alive again for about a month. In looking back at my journal notes, I realized it was a year to the week after mom s death I talked to my T and she said " I think you are depressed. " That turns out to have been an understatement. I was so profoundly depressed that she was worried about me being alone. So, yea, it affects you. This does not mean I think you should be a clone to her till she dies , then try for your own life. I would encourage this: Make your choices based on what you need to do, what is best for you, and what is right. Choose, knowing she is mentally ill, that you did not cause it, that you cannot change it, that the bad situations and troubled relationships are her choice, and not yours. Then, forgive yourself for those hard choices, and make peace with your self about it. That will make the time of her loss easier. Not easy, for sick or not, she is still your mother, and you will grieve her loss. You will grieve that at last, there is no longer any chance she will somehow heal enough to become the real mom you wanted. But when the time comes, grieve, forgive yourself, and forgive her, and be at peace. Doug > > I've talked before on this thread about what my feelings might be if Nada died.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I would also say wow! I've wondered about this many times, both whether my Nada's death would bring any relief, and also the concern about potential haunting. When mine goes out of town, I occasionally have fantasies about her never coming home, whether she just disappears into the ether or wrecks her car or whatever. It's taken me years to try to let go of the guilt for even thinking such thoughts... But I'm working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks Annie2 and Yodababy, it's nice to know others think about this. If I were a complete skeptic and didn't believe the spirit goes on after death, the whole issue would be irrelevant. I've brought this topic up before on this list and it's rare that anyone says they've had trouble so that's good news. > > I would also say wow!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I went through different emotions. I never cried and I wasn't in shock. It was half expected because she had emphysema, but she died of a massive heart attack. In more ways than one, she committed suicide. She liked being an invalid and dependent on my father. But I was first numb and a little relieved, then I was really angry -- where I think I was for about a year (she died in 2007). Now, I'm sad most of the time. Not because she died, but because the realization that I have no mother and never had a mother finally hit me and it doesn't feel fair. I mean, it's foot-stomping, screaming fit, crying not fair. I hate the feeling of being abandoned. I think it hit me when she was a live, but when she was here, it was easier for me to have hope that she might actually be a decent mother someday. I guess I had hope that she might actually figure out she was a mother and care about me. If your Nada has died, did it bring you any peace? I've talked before on this thread about what my feelings might be if Nada died.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 My nada died 2 wks ago. I haven't cried and also, was not in shock. She, too, had emphysema and many other afflictions and she, too, liked being an invalid and dependent on fada. My biggest sorrow, I think, is that she spent her entire life wasted in being angry, bitter and miserable. Laurie In a message dated 3/16/2011 6:42:47 A.M.

Your therapist would probably have some name for my unresolved issues that only allowed my freedom contingent upon fada's death, but I don't think it's all in my head. When there is a negative person, as closely connected as father/daughter, continually and unremittingly thinking of you negatively, as a bad person, those " vibes " are being broadcast spiritually, on some level, and I always felt them. But after he died, the broadcast stopped. > > I have seen positive changes in my life and health now that fada has moved on to wherever he's gone. As for your therapist thinking it's necessary to work things out with a person before they die, he/she needs to add " if they are of sound mind, " to that sentence. I believe you have it right--that as a KO, I can only work out my end and it will NEVER be resolved with a PD, that's why they're PDs! > Kind regards, > AFB > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
