Hi, my mother is likely BP, and narcissistic. The weird thing is she often has me almost convinced that I am these things. I am an only child and it's hard to disentangle myself from her. I know I often reflect her traits when we are too close and do better with physical distance. Still learning skills to deescalate explosions.

I'm an only child as well, of a single mother  I get the experience of a parent trying to mold you into a version of themselves,  if that's what you think you may be experiencing. 

How far away do you live from her and what's the contact situation like?
