Mother can't follow simple instructions
Hello, recently me and my psychiatrist concluded to the possibility of my mother having BPD.
She was abandoned early in life and she was reunited with her family when she was 5. She has an intense emotional dysregulation and a very hard time to control her emotions and behaviors.
She is especially very hard to deal with, because when I tell her please don't do something, she will 95% of the time do it.
Lately I asked her not to do something trivial yet important to my business activities and she did it.
I felt empty and betrayed to the point I was feeling numb and dead inside.
I already cut her once in the past but we have reunited since.
My question.
Do you experience such a behavior and if so how do you deal with it?
Thank you.
Please be kind English not my first language and I am really upset.
