Receiving a 'panic' text message is triggering at the best of times
I feel better tonight. You are right. I talked to my mom and she said that if she does hear from SD22 shell let me know - as a mother she can understand. She said it’s ok to ease her anxiety about this and I relayed the message to the ex.
It makes more sense that after the ex responded and when I got the kids to night. It’s early switch on / switch off day because it’s spring break.
SD22’s dad lives close to my mom’s and they believe that she went there. The issue is that she doesn’t have full custody of the child, there’s the matter of her ex by and it sounds like custody of the child is going to go to my exuBPDw’s sister.
Having more information now helps. The exuBPDw was giving a really hard time for a week not very long ago and it’s hard to feel a sense of sympathy when she’s dysregulated and looking for someone to soothe her.
I forget about these rapid mood swings, I do not miss them and they feel intrusive. It’s the nature of the disorder but I am grateful that I’ve learned the lessons from the forum because it’s a lot better than not knowing what I’m dealing with and reacting to her intuitively.
