Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 Hi, My name is and I just joined.I feel that my mom has BPD.She has always never talked about feelings,etc..Mom has never really had any friends but if she makes a friend,mom does nothing but talk about that person and try to live her life like them.Mom is always stone faced and will burst out in anger at nothing and at the wrong time. If someone talks about how they feel,does or wants to do something,mom believes thats how she feels and wants to do that too.Mom will answer questions about anything with I don't know.She wants other people to tell her how she should live her life. I don't know what to do. Quote
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Hi , Welcome to our group. Well, you have already done one thing - joined this group! I always think the best thing is to learn as much as you can about BPD, and about how having a parent with BPD can affect your own development. I know there were many things in my family that I knew were not 'right', but I didn't understand what was really happening until I learned more about this disorder. It is very important - and natural and normal - to take care of yourself. Unfortunately, children of BPD parents are taught otherwise, and so we have to unlearn codependency, enmeshment and other 'fleas' that we got from our BPD parent. We have to learn how to take care of ourselves. This is often hard, as it is going against the ingrained teachings we have accepted. But it can be done, and many on this board have wonderful success stories about doing this.
