Title: pondering Post by: BPDstinks on June 05, 2025, 05:58:03 AM Did anyone ever wonder....my pwBPD practically raised my granddaughter (her niece) when she cut off ties with the majority of our family, she also cut ties with her (she is 9 years old) and her sisters, who she was SOOO close to (I just thought of this because I came across some pictures) I wonder how ONE can NOT miss those people; IF she has issues with me, so be it, I feel like it is such a waste of time, sadly, the kids hardly ask about her anymore; same with her sister; they were so close, it is on my mind...

Ah photos are such triggers for pondering! They certainly get my mind going - and heart aching! It is so hard to understand BPD - it is so complex. We look back at the time when we seemed to know the person - and now it is all so different. When I catch myself thinking my DD should be able to understand, I remind myself that her mind functions differently and her emotions are not restrained by reason or logic. Hence the chaos of her life that challenges me every day. It's a long, hard journey of love . . . Title: Re: pondering Post by: BPDstinks on June 10, 2025, 08:00:56 AM Oh, Sancho! You are spot on! Personally, graduation, prom, etc. season is "rough" (well...other than regular work days, most things are!) I came across a picture from my pwBPD's high school graduation, she was hugging me & beaming! Your words help me! I have battled clinical depression; I believe my statement: you never know what another person is going through...it is such a BEAST of a disease! Thank you for your thoughtfulness!
