uBPD parent stopped going to therapy

I don’t even know why I’m so upset.

About a month ago, my mom requested to cancel a therapy appointment on short notice and her therapist told her she would need to charge her a late cancellation fee. My mom immediately turned against her. She had her session to avoid paying the fee but I don’t think she ever went back.

Her therapist allegedly told her she does not have BPD so I figured she is a bad therapist and/or my mom fooled her as she can be very charismatic. Either way I had lost hope. But this feels like betrayal, and she told me about it only after I asked and in such a nonchalant way.

I just said, ok but I have been upset ever since. I have been thinking about all her episodes in which she became verbally and physically abusive towards me, when she would physically restrain me or block doorways so I couldn’t leave my room. She knows how important her going to therapy is for me, and for her to be so casual about telling me she stopped going to therapy felt like a slap in the face.

I let her come to my house to do her laundry and she is supposed to come in tomorrow but I don’t want to see her.

Does you pwBPD hate all your friends?

My pwBPD has always hated most of my friends. When I had plans to hang out with them she would say she hoped they would cancel on me or tell me they were going to stand me up. She had no basis for any of this.

She would also tell me that I will one day realize that they are awful people and that day I will remember her words.

Anyone else experience this? How did you deal with it?

False imprisonment

TW: general BPD cruelty/abuse.

Anyone dealt with false imprisonment by a BPD parent? I’m talking about blocking driveways, doors, physically restraining your movements, etc.? I am constantly triggered by these memories..

My uBPD Mom finally moved out

I finally asked my uBPD mom to move out, and she did!!! I have never felt happier in my home. It finally feels like a safe place where I can relax and be myself.

We are in contact and I have gone to visit her and I just get so enraged realizing how she has no life skills. She has been eating ONLY microwave quesadillas, sandwiches using untoasted bread with one slice of cheese, and yogurt for a month now. She invited me over for enchiladas one day, so I go and she just microwaved a tortilla and dipped it in some store bought sauce and put it in a plate and handed it to me. That was the whole meal. One enchilada that she prepared so quickly that the cheese didn’t even melt. This is what she’s been eating, it infuriates me and I’m not even sure why.

She has no furniture aside from a mattress and a sofa, and no plans to buy anything. I cooked something and shared with her but I felt so upset doing that even though she didn’t ask for it because I realized how this is something the parent usually does, not the child. I also don’t think she can even have the self-awareness to realize how this is not how people live, and honestly I don’t even know if it is a lack of skills and/or self-respect. I am choosing to not say anything to her because she is an adult capable of making her own choices, but it makes me so mad and I also can’t help but worry that she will get sick from poor diet.
