Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I am so sorry for what you are going through. How shamefull for your mother to go through such drastic measures for control. How dare she sacrifice your daughters mental well being by placing these lies around town about her own father molesting her! It is also a slap in the face for real victims and its because of people that lie like her that real criminals get away and real victims get stigmatized! BPD people are so chaotic and reckless there really is no explanation for their disregard for other humans emotional well being. My nada wouldnt beleive my fada was a molester , he was. Now even though they are split up she tries to insinuate my fada wasnt really a molester because SHE doesnt want the stigma of being someone that was married to a molester and continued to stay married to one years after she found out! She evn tells people I admitted it wanst true, despite I that I never did and two of my sisters were also abused. These BPDs are so screwed up in their little minds that they cant wrap their ideas around the horror of something like child molestation to realize it isnt something you play games with the way they play with everything else. When I was thirteen my nada actually tried to accuse me of molesting my two year old sister!!! UGH. It was untrue and a very horrific experience to go through and the next day she acted like nothing happenned at all, as though she never accused me of one of the most vile things you can accuse a person of. It was in her mind like accusing me of leaving the lights on behind me or something, like borrowing a shirt without asking! Jesus. She has also accussed my step father of wanting to be with my 14 year old sister he raised and practically adopted! And thought both I and the middle sister were out to seduce her man! YUCK... That is also one of the many reasons I limit my daughter having anything to do with nada because as you are learning they are capable of doing this very type of thing to manipulate a situation. NOTHING is off limits to a BPD. Im am kinda reluctant to have my own step son in our life as bad as that sounds because I fear his BPD mother would make something like that up if she got mad at my husband. she already had threatened to accuse him of rape if he didnt let her get her way during the divorce. Of course he is innocent, my husband couldnt rape anyone and she couldnt say NO the anything with a penis!!!LOL. But she knew even an accusation would be enough to ruin his military career. Then another time she made a false accusation about him attacking her during a visit to see their son, I was there. There was NO attack, not even cross words. But you know how it is once rumors get started... I dont mean to go on and on about me. I do that too much! I just wnat you to know you are not alone in these awfull slanderous attacks. Though what your nada is doing right now certainly takes the cake. takes the cake and the icecream too. Maybe you should threaten to take her to court for slander. Im sure a doctors notice your child has never been abused will be enough to make any judge shut her up. She has NO standing to take your daughter and NO standing to threaten your career. In fact I would bet after a judge sees your record and integrity as a social worker your nada will be roasted and toasted. She may even be forced to get a pychiatric eval once it comes out she is making these unfounded accusations. The people you work with must know you are a good worker, a good mother and give your child a good home. I think we give nadas more credit than they deserve. If these people can SEE your daughter is fine and a doctor says your daughter is fine then it is your nada that looks nuts. I would really rethink allowing the seven year old be around her. There are highly publicized cases of children making false allegations because an adult CONVINCES these kids to believe they were abused. Sometimes a child will imagine and remember abuse that never happenned if they are led to believe it did by an adult. Your mothers instability is a direct threat your childs well being. And she has real nerve to try to recooncile after doing that to your husband! I am so sorry you have to go through that added marital stress. A BPD has no real concept of love so they cant fathom how hurt you must have felt to see the man you love attacked in this malicious manner. What a horribble and hatefull thing to do to the man her daughter loves, to the man her granddaughter calls Daddy! Have you thought of just moving? You can find work as a social worker anywhere. Just saving some money and not telling anyone your leaving and taking your family and moving away? I know its drastic but sometimes you just do what you have to do .

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I have two words to say: Strike first. If you think that she could hurt you by talking to certain people about you, talk to them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Welcome. First of all, how do you know you are dealing with BPD? How far do you live from your mother? This is a great site where we support and give ideas on how to cope with the near to uncopeable, but the first line of defense is you. I know it is hard, but perhaps in the future, meeting her at a public place where you can leave if it gets crazy. You don't have to let her in. Even sitting on the porch gives you the option of going inside if things get crazy. Both my parents were BPD, so I know it is hard to stop the chaos roadshow, but for your own sanity, concider not letting her into your personal space. Take care.

By the way I find the " Oz " amusing since I actually AM in Kansas! LOL My momster has BPD. Let me say this is a RELIEF! Then let me say I am a nervous wreck! I think most of you know my story as you have your own BPD person in your life. The rages, the me me me, the manipulation. About a year ago I finally said, " ENOUGH! " I have kept myself safe and kept my distance spoke to her only when absolutely necessary, being polite but not offering anything of myself. Then last night she showed up at my door, asked if I was alone (I was) and came in and told me to sit down. I actually thought she was going to try and reconcile. Silly me! And so, unprepared that I was, I sat there for an hour wondering if I really am insane. I hate that she can still hurt me so much, right to my core! Accusing my DH of molesting my DD, telling me I am " sick " and need help, that I am not allowed to see my 15y/o sister or go to my brother's wedding, that my DH is the sickest strangest man she has ever met and that " everyone " says the same thing. That my family (I am VERY close to my PATERNAL family) has called her and told her that they don't want anything to do with me. God, it goes on and on. And I actually sat there stunned and started thinking that maybe I am the crazy one! What is the most disturbing is the acusations of molestation. She has nothing to go on except a 7 y/o drama queen's anger at having rules to follow and telling grandma how " mean " her dad is and how she hates him sometimes. However, she (momster) has apparently been talking to anyone who will listen about how DH is doing " something " to DD. She runs a popular restraunt in our city and so she has access to many people, including people who are in the social services with me. (I am a social worker) She is slandering me and DH, demanding that I let her see DD or else she will have her taken from our home, and threatening my career! Well, DD being removed is rediculous, but the slander to the right people really could hurt my career here. I don't know what to do, I am a total wreck. I am terrified in my own home for fear she will show up again.(I would not lether in, but just her knocking and raging!) I was afraid to leave cause she might be lurking. I kept flinching at people walking toward me today. (I am being treated for PTSD and doing very well until last night) How do I deal with this?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Thanks for the responses! Otwoma, I am a clinical social worker, so though nada has never been to a therapist, I am qualified to make Dx and have had a few BPD patients, though substance abuse was my area, now I work with children and adolecents. Nada is a " textbook " case meeting all the diagnostic crtiteria for BPD. Thanks for asking. I live about 10 minutes away from her. Trust me, i will be more prepared next time it happens! I know it will happen again though she will NOT step foot in this house again! > Hello all, I am a newbie who has reached her limit and came looking > for validation. Gotta Love the internet!
