BPD or something else?
I have only just joined this forum and started to look into groups to discuss my mothers BPD however after reading a lot of other threads I am starting to wonder if it is actually BPD my mother has or something else.<br><br>A short back story - I grew up with my child hood being relatively normal until my parents got divorced when I was 12. After the divorce my mum went down hill fast, she would have my sister and I in the car and tell us she was going to drive it off a cliff or in to a pole while we were all inside. She would also have fits where she would try and rip all of her hair out, break anything she touched and try to abuse us. After years of putting up with this behaviour I finally grew up, moved out, got married and had children of my own. My mother however has never changed. <br>She was diagnosed with BPD 2 years ago however does nothing about it and is not trying to get better.<br>A week ago we were doing Christmas shopping when she started screaming at me in the middle of the shops about me telling her to "**** off" when I was 12 years old. Now this is completely made up in her head however she believes it. <br>It is now starting to affect my daughter and is to the point I get scared leaving my daughter in my mothers care that she will do something to hurt her or really scare her. <br>I am also really starting to get over the constant abuse in public where every one can see or when she constantly makes scenes and her self the victim in every situation. I don't know if I can do this anymore, 13 years of this is enough. <br><br>If your parent has BPD do they act like this and do you still have them in your life?<br>
