So sad

I’m so sad about the pain my ubpd sibling is in. I know I can’t change it but I guess when they weren’t feeling let down by me and we were really in each others lives I did feel like I might be helping a little bit. I’m having trouble with the change.

Feeling sad about the pain your ubpd sibling is in is a healthy response to her disordered behaviors. Debilitating anger is often a coverup for underlying sadness that the person is not in touch with. I have often noticed how the healthiest people feel sad for a person who is acting badly.
I have been no contact with my sister with Narcissistic Personality Disorder for several years now. I often feel sad that this is the case, yet I know I cannot go back to being around her because of how she has emotionally and physically abused me.
