So my professor even offered to give her free sessions online and to check if the meds she's on are the right ones.
Wow. That's a generous offer. I would also ask your prof what would be the best way to approach her about this. I think some/many/most pwBPD would be insulted or even triggered by this offer because they would have to be aware or acknowledge that they have a problem.
My mom has refused counselling at different times in her life. That was a NO go. She doesn't know that I've been seeing T's on/off for many years. If I told her that, the relationship would go toxic again. So the trick is how to approach your mom in a way that would be validating to her, rather than invalidating. If it goes wrong the first time you approach her, there won't be a second chance. As you are aware, it's a complicated disease.
I want a real mom... the sad part is that she may never be an actual mom to my sisters and myself.
It is good that you have this awareness. In my experience, it was hard to accept this, but once I accepted it, I was able to start moving forward.
Best wishes for your studies at med school. That is so exciting...good for you! A lot of hard work, but an amazing opportunity to help people.
