Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 Hi Randi, Thanks for getting back to Me about My queries. I found out what the title of the book was, when I had a look at the original email that You had sent to me to inform Me about this new group. So, My apologies! I don't think that the book would be of much use to Me anyway. (May be!!!???) Although I didn't mention this in My last email, I wanted to, but couldn't remember what I wanted to say, until I had a look at the first email, the one I mentioned above. You see, My Son wont have anything to do with Me, & bitterly hates Me. I did mention a little bit about this when sending My last email to the other Lady about her Daughter, but didn't really get enough time to till now. I have No idea of what to do in this particular situation that I'm faced with. I have no idea of how to reach out to him, as he is unpredictable, & it could very well work the opposite, & I don't want to take that chance. I hope & pray every day, that one day he will love me again, or at least show it, like he did before. It scares me to think of the possibility, that he may now hate me, or never want to see me again for the rest of Our lives. It's very hard for Me, as he wont even speak to me over the telephone. I miss him a lot, & he's only 15 yo, & we've been apart for almost one Year now. He's with My ex, who is also BPD. (as well as My current Partner! I sure know how to pick them don't I? But, I believe that My mother was too, & perhaps I became conditioned somehow to this type of behaviour/s?) I don't really know how to cope with this particular situation. (Sometimes I think that it was even better that he live with Me & Abuse Me & My Partner just for the sake of still having him in my life) It's too confusing. So, I don't know if that book would really be of any benefit to Me in the situation that I am in with My son, unless it tells Me how I can break through to him, & we can be friends once more! My ex is very spiteful, & is actually doing Everything as to avoid My Children & I from having any contact with each other at all. I am left with no other option but to take this matter to court, which officially starts next month. As I cannot mediate at all with My ex. A very difficult, nasty BPD, & my son is growing up exactly the same way! So, although I don't believe the book to be of great benefit to Me at this point in time, what actually did get my interest, was the CDs (I think) that You have on Your Web Site about Protecting Our Children from the BPDs Deadly behaviour/s, etc. But, it's an American article/program, & since I am from Australia, & We have different Laws here, those particular CDs wouldn't have much use to Me either, but what I read whilst on Your Site, about similar situations as to what I am going through at the moment, helped me a lot. By the way, are You still keeping Your original Web Site where it is? I think that it's time that at least one of Our Laws in Australia are changed in relation to all of this! & I'm going to fight it out in court too, so as to protect My Children, who are currently living a life of hell. Talk about, 'Walking on Eggshells' It's all very heart breaking to see all of this happening, to those I love the most. & I am not denying that I never did any wrong whilst We were all living together, & even the fact that I stayed as long as I did, makes me ill. But now, who protects My Children, since they have been taken & hidden away from Me? No one seems to be moving in quick enough with action, this has been going on for far too long now, & there has to be a stop put to it. There's a possibility of even one of My Children being killed, through all of this Neglect & Abuse! & I'm expected to just sit back & 'Handle it' According to Our Authorities, Especially DoCS, which is Our Child Protection Service, they too, are Abusive. They will Not even go out & ask My Children if they are OK or not. And every type of Abuse imaginable, has been disclosed from My Children, to Professional Therapists/Counsellors/Psycs, & Drs, Yet, no one, who CAN Actually do something about all of this, is taking this at all Serious. I mean, it would be different if It was Me just saying these things off the top of My head, but it's My Children that are saying them, & crying out for help & no one is listening, & now My ex is playing this very nasty game of, 'I'll show You who's got the Control' & now that they are being kept from seeing me, spending time with me, and even their telephone calls are being monitored by my ex, & if My Children, DARE Say Anything 'out of place' the phone is taken off them, & it is made sure that they won't be home for the following Month, when I Phone there to speak to My Children. This is, a 'pay back' to Me & My Children, for Daring to do Anything against 'The BPD' We don't even know, & actually We have Never known, what the 'Right' thing is/was to do! This is where the 'Walking on Eggshells' come from! & My partner has written a good poem about 'Walking on Eggshells' She wrote it on Her Birthday last Year, kinda sad actually, if You read it, you would know what I mean! I suppose You can probably guess what it's all about anyway!!!??? By the Way, I personally think that You should name Your book 'SWOE' Excellent Name! I not only 'Hope for Parents' but I also hope for The poor Children as well, that Suffer Their Hell & Misery in Silence & Isolation!!! Did working with BPDs turn You off having Children, or are You just waiting for the right time, or neither? Don't get upset anyone by that comment, just a little joke back to Randi, in light of hers. I'd love to know exactly what You mean by, 'having plenty of BPs knocking at the door dressed up in all sorts of Halloween costumes.' DO THEY REALLY??? WHY??? I believe the next bit that you said about, " They like tricks more than treats. " (HOW TRUE!) You're likely to get punched out if You give them a treat, I don't think that they know how to take them, they see it as a form of manipulation, & then You get accused of, being an Abuser, Having an Affair, & what ever else their paranoia/psychosis state of mind throws at You! Ah, but Where Would We Be Without Them, I Ask??? (!!!) Regards, ER. C/- SCA-S.O.S!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 Hi, it's SCA-S.O.S! Here again. I forgot 3 things in My last email. The first one is; What does 'WTO' (in Our borderlines title for Our group here) stand for? The second thing is; The 2nd url that I added for Our Web Site wasn't complete. It should have read: http://au.geocities.com/scasos1/ourpage.html RANDI: The Third thing; You didn't answer My question that I had asked You, Randi, about " Why do You have the passion you do, about the study, & All of the work that You do, for BPD? " Just another thing about My Court Case, for The Protection of My Children from any further Abuse; We all know that it's possible for The BPD to be cured (even if not 100%) Well, what happens in Our Family Court is, they will look at the case, & more than likely, a Parenting Order will have to be made. The Order includes, attending the appropriate Support Services, Therapists/Counsellors, etc. until All of these Abusive Behaviours Cease. Anyone can make an application to the Court for a Parenting Order, Not just The Parents of The Children concerned, but Any other Person who is concerned for The Child/ren's safety & well being. (Which means that You can ask The Family Law Court for certain conditions to be placed in The Order, while the Carer has The Children, in their Care. Such as, Counselling, etc. Which all sounds great, & it's Especially great to know, that if The Person that the Order is made out to, doesn't keep The Parenting Order, by not turning up to Support/Counselling etc. The Person can actually be sentenced to Prison, & will for sure lose All custody rights of Their Children until it can be proved that they are going to act in a responsible & non-Abusive manner, with the only contact that they would be allowed to have with their Children, after breaking this particular type of Order, has to be supervised visits only. But, what I am wondering is, Do most BPDs go into therapy because of fear, or what? Any feedback here would be appreciated. So, don't ever let it be said, " That Nothing can be done about it! " (I've also applied for a Court Order to be put on Our Child Protection Agency, for Major Negligence) Thank You for Your time once again. Regards, ER. C/- SCA-S.O.S!
