Hello!  This is my first post, and as introduction, I am coming to this group because my sister has BPD and I believe my mother does as well.  As we all get older, it has become increasingly hard to maintain a good relationship, and I'm hoping this group can help me re-establish good boundaries and also encourage positive relationships with my mom and sister.

Hi Riazebmom,

Welcome to the BPD Family 

It's great that you decided to jump in and join us, this is a great place to get support, tools, ideas, strategies, and sometimes just a place to vent.  We all have someone in our lives with BPD/BPD Traits... .we "get it".

Can you tell us a little more about your situation?  Do you all live together?  Separately?  Is your dad in the picture?  What is his role?  What kinds of behaviors are you experiencing regarding your mom and your sister?  Is anyone receiving therapy?... .okay that's it for the questions  Smiling (click to insert in post) Just trying to get a feel for your situation.

I'd also like to point out the box to the right --> everything there is a link to more information.  You might want to check out the material in the "Lessons" section when you have the time.

I hope to hear more of your story.

Hey Riazebmom,

Sorry to hear you have had a double wammy, that must have been difficult for you. I have a BPD mom and NPD bro, and when the fought (all the time) they set the air on fire. I also find it harder to deal with in my advanced age as my tolerance for stress has diminished. So I feel for you. But this forum does have many tips, that have helped me and hopefully it will help you. Welcome to the forum.
