Title: Help Post by: Amom on August 22, 2022, 08:12:33 AM I need advice. My daughter texts that she “knows I don’t love her” and I tell her I love her all the time. She is in emotional pain and I want to help.
Title: Re: Help Post by: kells76 on August 22, 2022, 09:53:37 AM Hi Amom, welcome. People often join here when they're in pain from a hurtful relationship -- I think I hear hints of that in your post.
Can I ask, does your D live at home still? And when she says "I know you don't love me", would you say you: always mostly 50/50 rarely respond with "I love you"? I ask because skills and tools for communicating with pwBPD (or people with BPD type traits, regardless of a diagosis) are often deeply counterintuitive. If you're up for it, we can talk through some of those skills/tools here, if you feel ready to try some different approaches to see how they go. Keep us posted on how you're doing, and again, welcome. kells76 |
