"Personal Inventory" for Parents

[Bracken]

Hi friends

I tried going onto the "Personal Inventory" Board - seeking discussion at a spiritual or very self-searching level - but it appears to be yet another Board here dealing with romantic relationships.

Has anyone else felt surprised - (and envious)- that six Boards on this Forum are dedicated to romantic relationships? I guess that is where the "demand" is greatest.

As both a daughter and a mother of uNPD and/or uBPD  women - I too could really benefit from Personal Inventory discussions.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi Bracken,

I'm very glad to see another parent interested in doing Personal Inventory.  I've been thinking about taking the plunge over there to work on my issues.  I don't think that board has anything to do with who we are involved with but is more about working on ourselves and seeing how we've contributed to the messes in our lives.  Who knows?  Maybe we'll learn something new about ourselves.

Cant say I've ever so much as looked at that board so thanks for the suggestion because I am now on my way over to check it out

I have gotten mixed responses when posting on this board. Maybe if we put the words 'parent of pwBPD' in the subject there would be a larger response from other parents. I will watch this board more often.

I hear you, Bracken - it does look like that board is dedicated to people involved in romantic relationships, but it is not meant to be that way - it's just that people w/BPD partners and exes are the majority who post there... .

  So - yes! Let's head over there too! We can learn from the other members' discoveries there and I am sure they can learn from our's as well.

Thank you for the responses!

I am glad that we can post on that Board too.  A lot of what I read - and write! - on this Parents forum is about conflicts within our SELVES.

I feel that I may be on the verge of  huge changes in my family relationships - especially in regard to my D -  which will be the result of transformative changes of HEART.

Take care all
