WHOO HOO.  After reading several suggestions from folks about not reading letters from BPD - mom.  Letters that caused me great distress... .  I did it, I did it.  I threw away her letter without reading it.  Sounds silly, doesn't it.  Such a small act but for me it is a Huge act of defiance.  It is causing a bit of guilt but that far out weights the anxiety of her communication.   Thank-you to the individuals that took the time to scribble down their thoughts.   Doing the right thing (click to insert in post)  One day at a time, that is all I have to do!

Hi Yogi!  That is a fantastic step you took and I am so happy you have taken action to protect yourself.  Throwing the letter away does not sound silly at all.
