Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

Please don't fall prey to your BPD sending you holiday wishes. Yes, I know it's tempting to hit that ball back across the net, and you feel "guilty" if ya don't... .
But no good comes from it. NO REPLY sends the correct, appropriate message: you abused me and you're dead to me now.
ANY attention from you literally sanctions how badly they treated you. For them , it's a PROOF you've accepted the abuse they dished out and have forgotten it, which isn't all true for you! More contact with someone who's harmed you, is literally SELF-betrayal.

Wholeheartedly agree Z,

Unfortunately, I have to co-parent with my exBPDh  Frustrated/Unfortunate (click to insert in post)    

I'd give anything to be able to just walk away and never set eyes or have any type of communication with him again so I strongly encourage those who have that option to take full advantage of it!

Warmly,
B

6 years out, she married the guy she left me for,  and I still get birthday texts. I also coparent.  My BIFF reply is "thanks."
