Solid work!  Super solid.  High 5, 10, 15...!

You were able to detach..think about it and "read the tea leaves" and put it into context.

It's not important that you have it "precisely right"...I do think you "generally have the vibe of it".

Big big step that she reached out for the first time..."not in a rage".

That needs to be acknowledged somehow, but in a non shaming way.

There is also the biggest piece missing..that a Mom's improvement in mental health will help her children.

So...there is good and bad in the message.

Now..what do we do about it.

Do you communicate with her mental health team?  They should know about the good and the bad.

Please hold of "doing" anything, until others weigh in...

Best,

FF

To find out what I want, I look at what I do.

Her "team" is for pain management.  It is a special program that uses a wholistic approach including specialist doctors, naturopathic doctors, nutritionist, physical therapist, mental therapist, acupuncture, and I think one I'm missing.  The physical therapist and mental therapist are not part of the clinic, but referrals that coordinate with the rest of the team.

I do not have access nor contact with them.  In case of emergency I do know how to contact them, but they may or may not act on what I say... and with HIPAA I suspect I wouldn't ever find out if they did.  I do not know the name of her current psychiatrist, but I know it came from our GP and I could probably get an emergency message to them through her.

She has trust issues regarding her medical information.  Mostly because I shared with authorities her diagnosis for BPD, which she continuously claims I broke the law and am lying.  I would have broken the law if I were one of her medical professionals, but I'm not.  Her claim of lies is a huge stretch.  Her official diagnosis is:  Personality Disorder with Borderline and Anti-Social features.  This could mean Borderline, it could mean Anti-Social, or it could mean comorbid of both (which I find likely if it is not solely Borderline).  But it does not mean a clean bill of mental health, which is how she has chosen to interpret it based on the influence of her life damaging, man hating, therapist I found for her last year.
