Title: My mom... it’s not worth my mental state.
Post by: Sotorn on July 02, 2020, 09:30:39 PM
I made the huge mistake to go and live with my mother with my husband a new born child while I work on buying a new home because my lease was up. Big mistake I just can’t take it anymore my mother has severe bpd to the point it’s triggering memories of when I was a child which I had stored far away in the back of my brain. She’s absolutely horrible I don’t know what mood she will wake up to and I always feel like I’m walking on egg shells, but what’s worse is that I made a huge mistake to have my new born child in this hell hole. I protect my child but this purchasing a house is taking longer then what I expected which I don’t know if I’m willing to wait m. I have to protect my daughter and I need to make sure she never goes through what I went through. Also I am having my husband deal with this looney tunes life which I shouldn’t do. Ugh all we wanted was a better future for my daughter by taking our time to find that home for our daughter but I regret it bcuz it’s not worth my mental state.

What is she doing or saying that's making it horrible? Is your baby safe?

Revisiting trauma must be very painful, but we're here to support you  :hug:

Hi Sotorn and welcome.

How are you doing today?

I hope you share more so we can support you better.  Taking care of yourself, a baby (congrats!) and your husband while living with your mom and dealing with memories of what happened is incredibly hard but it can be done.

Have you had a chance to read our Survivors Guide (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=331826.0) tacked to the top of this board?  It is a great place to start.  Read though it and see what you think. 

Hope to hear more from you soon.
