The crazy things they say.

[Guest guest]

I was reflecting today on the stuff my nada has said that is completely nuts.

Stuff that, at one point, I believed and now laugh at. Thought this might be a

healthy way to blow off steam and laugh about the ridiculousness we experience.

At the same time it is sad that they lack the ability to be reasonable people.

But then, I need to laugh it off to preserve my sanity and perspective.

I'll go first.

A few years ago, my DH and I shared a business with my mom (before I knew about

BPD). After the business had stabilized nicely, I decided to open up an small

online baby-wearing business selling wraps, slings, pouches, etc. My mom heard

my voicemail message, " Hi, this is and Marsupial....leave a message... "

She never asked about what I was up to. All she could say was, " Your babywearing

business is a clear and present danger to {insert store name here}. "

Mind you, our store grossed $75k a month. Wraps and pouches could never hold a

candle to that. Not in a million years!

I have a friend who's partner has BPD. Partner flipped out because friend used

the wrong bag of coffee or something similarly inconsequential. Partner had the

nerve to say post-argument, " You were disrespecting me because you used too much

of the wrong coffee. " When, in fact, friend doesn't drink coffee and simply

didn't know how much to use, nor what kind.
