Sorry for my bad english .. I recognize this somewhat. At my diagnosis, my mother was interviewed by a child psychologist about how I was was as a child ... she couldn't remember anything ... nothing - maybe that says enough. It made me furious, as a child I struggled with many things. My mother is unable to empathize with her children. was included in my diagnosis. She loves her children in her own way. What the diagnosis means is pointless to explain to her. She never delved into it and ruled her own version of the story. I managed to adjust the image of my mother with help and accepted that she is who she is, I take more distance and approach it more distantly so that it affects me less. Despite the fact that I love her a lot, it remains difficult at times but the relationship is less difficult. Anyway, this is my experience. When I watch your movies it's pretty clear to me that your kids couldn't wish for a better mother, respect!
I think it’s very difficult with family members to look closely at them selves and others with BPD, when my x wife just exploded out of the blue one day! She went from being the sweetest thing to god knows what, I knew it could only be down to her BPD, However when I tried to reach out to her family and friends they stuck by her excusing her behaviour. I knew the reasons my x wife was in denial, but couldn’t figure out why her family who must of known deep down something was wrong stuck to their guns. Needless to say that was the beginning of the end! But in my humble opinion not admitting something is off is their maladaptive way of coping, simply a defensive mechanism.
Most of my family i think avoids me 99 percent, ive tried talking with them but they think all i need to do is go out more and ill feel better. i eventually stopped trying and now i just keep it to myself, i am 49 now, if they cant learn by now its not just a case of going outside then they will never get it, they just think im lazy and unsociable. But on a positive side all my inside seclusion has protected me from sunlight and i dont have any wrinkles yet lol
I am very sorry, it is incredibly difficult to succeed without family support. I know it hurts you. Good news is you are here. Through the internet there is a whole community of people who feel like you. Perhaps through that there can be friendship, breakthroughs and freedom. I like to optimistic because there is always hope, 49 or 27 we can start making changes that gives us to our best life. Take care, you are not alone
@@mymentalhealthjourneybpd7531 I have doubts about someone I know having BPD but I don't know how to let him know... do u have Instagram or twitter so I can send u a short dm?
