Hello, Motherofthebride

Although something like a wedding can be exciting, it can also be filled with lots of stress and everything else you describe (even without BPD thrown in the mix!). I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this... .

How old is your daughter? Does she live with or near to you? When is the wedding? How are you holding up?

Please read all you can on this site (the links to the right-hand side of this page are a great start!), and tell us more about your situation... .We'd love to help you during this stressful time, Motherofthebride

After validating the stress of planning a wedding how do the conversations go?

Not taking verbal abuse is a must!  Healthy boundaries and "we can talk again when you aren't so stressed".

Have you tried this?
