Guest guest Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi all, So as my bpd mother gets older and I start to think about what the future may bring and how I might actually have to deal with her at some point if she needs assistance, etc., most of the time my thoughts are that I wish she would just go away. I often think this. I am basically no contact (or very very very LOW) and have been for a long time. I don't want anything more, but the problem, of course, is that parents are connected to the rest of the family and there are all the entanglements that come with that. Aging, of course, will bring more entanglements. So at my worst I have even found myself thinking things like, maybe she will die before any health issues/living assitance issues will come up. And sometimes, yes, the phrase " if I am lucky " may precede those thoughts. Of course, I don't REALLY wish her dead, but dead to me in the sense of being just gone (which is impossible, of course) ... In short: do any of you all ever have such thoughts? crockett **This group is based on principles in Randi Kreger's new book The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder: New Tips and Tools to Stop Walking on Eggshells, available at www.BPDCentral.com.** Problems?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think that's normal, to want something/someone negative to move on to something or someone else. Esp when things are extremely bad between us, I find myself wishing my mother would move back to her homeland. It's a lovely fantasy. Interestingly, even though HER mother is still alive and her siblings have begged her to come see their mother, my mother won't go. So that undying loyalty is only expected from her children to her, not from herself to her own mother. It's weird. I know it's the hermity part of her, the agoraphobic part that holds her back, but still. No one else can have any excuses, just her. > > Hi all, > > So as my bpd mother gets older and I start to think about what the future may bring and how I might actually have to deal with her at some point if she needs assistance, etc., most of the time my thoughts are that I wish she would just go away.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yes, pretty much on a daily basis. My kids, all young adults say it, too, but then we joke and say, who are we kidding, her parents lived to be 96 and 98. But then again, she has NEVER taken care of herself, abused prescription drugs for decades etc. I have a friend, whose nada was an undiagnosed BPD. My friend was putting up with the typical vicious, mean voice mails and calls at work, splitting, gameplaying with her and the grandkids, so much abuse. I explained what BPD was, and it clicked for my friend. A few months later, she called me at 7 am to tell me that her mom had been killed in a murder-suicide by her stepdad. She said, " I can't tell anyone this but you.....I am so relieved. " Oh, and the last words from her mom were in a voice message telling her that she was a no good whore. > > Hi all, > > So as my bpd mother gets older and I start to think about what the future may bring and how I might actually have to deal with her at some point if she needs assistance, etc., most of the time my thoughts are that I wish she would just go away.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thank you for sharing this story as it means a lot. What I didn't mention in my email is the way I wonder if my thoughts are just absolutely horrible even though I know on some level that they aren't, or that I wouldn't judge someone else for saying them. Because, to be ENTIRELY honest, sometimes I wish she were already dead. And I completely understand the reaction of relief. I will probably feel the same way. It doesn't mean I won't feel sad for the life that was wasted, but still relieved. We are told/taught that we have this connection to our parents that supposedly should last and be there through everything, but when I encounter people in my friend life who behave like this, I dump them and never look back. Thanks again, crockett ________________________________ To: WTOAdultChildren1 Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 6:06 PM Subject: Re: Wishing it (they) would disappear?  Yes, pretty much on a daily basis.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Crockett: I have these thoughts on a regular basis - I wonder if her death would bring me peace because all I have ever known with my nada is drama and abuse. Even now - as sick as she is with cancer, she is still playing games of making sure to always let me know (in her subtle ways) that I am not good enough and that my brothers are the chosen ones (since I went low contact with her). To be quite honest - it is much simpler to have them die before they need assistance - I am finding that I am torn between my hatred towards her and the empathy I feel for her illness. My nada uses her illness as a way to manipulate us and nothing can be said about her bad behaviour because she can feign " an attack " or blame me for how sick she is. I am finding that it is challenging to not enter the FOG with her being old and sick. So....to answer your question - no you are not horrible and I have these thoughts alot. I think it is very nomral considering where we all came from.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I can totally relate-- I've been feeling this way for the 1st time just in the last few weeks. Just when it all started to click, when I joined this group, when I started to set up boundaries on my own, and when I started to deal with the insane, abusive fallout. I wish she were dead. I said it to myself at first, and it felt so good. Then I said it in therapy, struggling to get the words out, hesitating, and then whispering....to my surprise, my therapist was relieved to hear me say it--and smiled. I think it's the start of me feeling angry. really angry, for the 1st time, for all that she has done to me-- the 51 years of wasted energy feeling guilty, undeserving, not trusting anyone, being afraid, and not knowing how to have a real relationship. that me feeling good, will not literally kill her! I wish she were dead. Life would be so much easier. My family could finally move on, out of the quagmire of her lunacy. I'm so angry. Maybe when I move beyond the anger, I won't have to feel this way. she'll just be who she is and I'll be who I am and it won't effect me to this point. it makes me so sad. I just want the Mom I never had, and now I know for sure, she's never going to come....it breaks my heart. ~Debbie > > > > Hi all, > > > > So as my bpd mother gets older and I start to think about what the future may bring and how I might actually have to deal with her at some point if she needs assistance, etc., most of the time my thoughts are that I wish she would just go away.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow! The 1st time I wrote, " I wish she were dead " in my journal years ago, I thought someone would think I was awful, but it felt great to be totally honest with myself. I still wish that. There is no end in sight & my therapist says she will never get better & I can only prepare for it to get worse as she ages. Oh joy! She is so mean & hateful, she will live to be 100! I cannot even stand the sound of her voice & I am about sick of trying to win an for all of the performances I have put on every year just to keep peace. > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > So as my bpd mother gets older and I start to think about what the future may bring and how I might actually have to deal with her at some point if she needs assistance, etc., most of the time my thoughts are that I wish she would just go away.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 O boy, this touches some nerves. I have those feelings daily. I do not want to be taking care of my parents. Ever. But at the same time, if they were to die. Ok it would give me peace, but be hard because I'd feel obligated to attend the funeral.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Dead would be good from my angle too. I don't wish her ill, I just wish her gone. > > Wow! The 1st time I wrote, " I wish she were dead " in my journal years ago, I thought someone would think I was awful, but it felt great to be totally honest with myself. I still wish that. There is no end in sight & my therapist says she will never get better & I can only prepare for it to get worse as she ages. Oh joy! She is so mean & hateful, she will live to be 100! I cannot even stand the sound of her voice & I am about sick of trying to win an for all of the performances I have put on every year just to keep peace. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
