Surviving parents with mental illness. I see the train coming. →. February 13, 2010. Living with people with mental illness is a lot like walking on eggshells. One wrong step, one wrong word and the person you love…and who claims to love you turns into a snarling beast set out to destroy you from the inside out. How does one survive in this environment? I’m still trying to figure that out. Still trying to reconcile how my father could get caught up in the dysfunction, even condone it. For a long time I t...

Surviving parents with mental illness. I see the train coming. Dish Rag Dads →. Punished for standing up for myself. February 15, 2010. After having grown up with a mother with Borderline Personality Disorder and/or Schizophrenia, it’s taken me a very long time to recover my sense of self worth, and develop my own personality. Sounds odd doesn’t it? It’s not like I’m a teenager, still wading through all those hormones and discovering who I am. I’m 36. How does one get their sense of self back? In healthy...

Surviving parents with mental illness. Newer posts →. I see the train coming. February 14, 2010. Have you ever had a situation with someone with BPD, you can see the trainwreck coming, and you know that there is nothing you can do about it? Knowing that I can’t defend myself against her accusations (which will make her angrier), knowing that if I “apologize” for something I didn’t do, then I’m admitting that she was right, and there will be more false truths in her head. February 13, 2010. Living with pe...

Surviving parents with mental illness. Punished for standing up for myself →. I see the train coming. February 14, 2010. Have you ever had a situation with someone with BPD, you can see the trainwreck coming, and you know that there is nothing you can do about it? I have never been important to her, and therefore not to him. It’s pretty clear that she will decide that he can no longer associate with me. That he isn’t allowed to talk to me. That I am one more person in his life that is...You are commentin...

Surviving parents with mental illness. When I was 14, my mother was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. Prior to her official diagnosis, she tried to kill me multiple times. She viewed me as sexual competition. When I turned 10 or 11, the accusations started. That I was trying to seduce her then boyfriend. She saw me as a predator, aiming to steal her man and kill her for insurance money. That’s the tip of the iceberg in living with this. These are my stories. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Surviving parents with mental illness. Hi there →. February 22, 2010. My father called tonight, out of the blue to tell me that they were going to Cuba for a week for a recovery vacation. I haven’t talked to him since Christmas day. Apparently there is no more cancer in his wife, I am very happy for them, very happy that she is on the road to recovery. I’m not sure what to make of his call though. In the conversation, he never asked me if I got the parcel he sent that contained it. Was he fishing? I was ...

Surviving parents with mental illness. Why I’m NC (no contact). March 17, 2011. So I’ve had the BPD thing on the brain lately and I visited a site with message boards, etc. for people with BPD and those affected by someone else’s BPD. One thread caught my attention: how did your BPD parent drive you away? 8211; did not retain significant information about my life, seeing me only as a projection of herself rather than my own person. 8211; making me a party to [situations with my father]. 8211; told me cou...
