This is as much about me as my uBPD Mother.

I need to discuss this one with my therapist.  I do not have an appointment for a few weeks.

Yesterday, I woke up thinking that I heard my Mom's voice yelling at me.  Something from a dream maybe.  It seemed very real.  Then later in the day, I saw an ad that was about Mother's day.  I thought to myself "that does not apply to me, I don't have a Mother."  Which I do.  Not a good one, but I have one.  In my mind at that moment, I did not. 

Weird.

* I use hBPD rather than uBPD.  My Mom has not been evaluated for BPD, but I have a professional hypothesis from a therapist who I discussed the relationship with. She assigned me the eggshells book.  At the next meeting when I told her how many things in the book were Mom, therapist was certain.

Hi again!

That is interesting.  I have no idea what it means but I will be interested to hear others impressions and definitely would like to know your therapists take on this.

Keep us posted.

Perhaps your mind is protecting itself, given all that you've been through. A coping mechanism, perhaps?

Hi todayisthedayWelcome new member (click to insert in post)

I like LonelyButTrying's thought.   It's a good possibility.

Often when I have dreams (I've had them so much, and they can be strange to say the least!), I have come to realize for me that they are trying to tell me something. They often don't make much sense, but maybe you can ask yourself what you were feeling in the dream or even when you saw the sign and had the thought about not having a mom. I know from what you said that it doesn't make logical or factual sense at all, so if I were to ask you what your little inner child was saying, would you be able to share what feeling/feelings come to mind? Does your inner younger you (see what age you feel you are when you think this) feel that you don't have a mom?
