Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hello everyone, I am trying new things to help me get my life in order. My mother, like most of yours has BPD...she has never sought treatment or help until a year and a half ago. naturally, i was very naive and thought that we would finally, after 23 years, have the kind of relatiuonship we both need. You see, i am an only child and she raised me as a single parent, so life has been difficult for the two of us. I recently read about BPD and, although they diagnosed Mom with bipolar disorder last year, i am 100% sure she has been mis-diagnosed. I have begun the " Walking on Eggshells Workbook " and have decided that if i am going to truly deal with this and get my life back in line i will need the aid of a support group. My end goal is to have a relatioship with Mom. I want us to be close because i feel that's what we both need and want, i just am not sure how realistic that is...we are going to have to wait and see how she responds to my limit setting first to get a feel of how messy this may be. But i have taken off the rose-colored glasses and am beginning to see that it's not going to be easy and it will take time...lots of time....just a quick letter to get onto the road to recovery. mrsfrizzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
