Hi. Basically what the title says. Looking for a crew to cut some bamboo trees down. Appreciate it in advance

Ok so, I decided to give a listen to the audiobook, Stop Caretaking the Borderline… this morning and heard an example of a BPD mother going off on her child for missing school assignments and thought wow that’s relatable.

So fast forward to my daughter and I talking about my wife going in on her about her missing assignments in a similar fashion. I was explaining some of the stuff I heard from the book and did mention it was a book about BPD.

So, just now I get a phone call from my wife on my way to my night shift and she confronts me about my daughter saying I told her that her mom has BPD and not to worry too much when she flips out on her because it’s because she has a personality disorder. She went off on me and threatened to move out. I apologized and told her I obviously over shared and it wouldn’t happen again.

Not sure where to go from here. I know it’s never a good idea to confront them on their behavior and relate it to BPD/NPD and this is about as close to that as it can get. Even worse I guess since it came from my daughter instead of me. Any advice or relatable experiences are appreciated.
