Borderline Personality Disorder

[Rapunzel]

Hugggs to D Gal, Cher, Onsekiz and Sunny!

My daughter said the other day that I was a very loving Mummy, which nearly made me cry it was so sweet!

As Nomad says we all have quirks - and thats what makes us interesting!

I've never thought of my mother of having a 'condition' before, but as Diuretic says, there's bound to be a medication for it somewhere! Lol!

However, MY medication is simply to stay away. The same as Sunny has done, D Gal, you and I should just lead our own lives. It's very hard when you crave acceptance but I guess thats never going to come and feeling constantly unworthy is even harder as you become locked in a circle of depression.

Thanks D Gal, this was an interesting thread and its opened my eyes to things I didn't really understand. Hugs to you.

Rapunzel, I wish you all the best, you'll know if you've made the right choice if you are at peace with your decision as I am.

here are some quotes from mommy dearest: I was embarrassed to take you out when you were a baby because you were so ugly, I used to pretend to be asleep so you'd leave me alone in the morning, I'm going to tell you're fiance to leave you, I'm not going to waste money visiting you, I'm not going to celebrate your engagement in any way because I don't know if you're serious, I don't see why you need to do all this (referring to my wedding)

nice, huh?

It's not an easy thing to do and I too wished things were different but I finally just had to accept things as they were. I still can't look at my life in a negative way because they helped make me into the person that I am today and I'm grateful that I turned out to be a good person (and a very cool mom, if I do say so myself... )

lots of love to all of you!
