Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

I'd thought about that before - that you might not be comfortable expressing certain things about your mother at risk of hurting my feelings. I don't want you to feel like you have to be on eggshells about what you say about your experiences with growing up with a BPD parent. I know the disorder inside and out. I grew up with a parent who had untreated bipolar disorder and that was scary enough. The constant mood swings of someone with BPD would be terrible to grow up with. The anxiety of not knowing how they're going to act from moment-to-moment must have been awful.

I think that your mother and I have some big differences because she has narcissistic personality disorder too, right? It sounds like she has a huge level of entitlement and self-importance, which is are a far leap from the lack of self-identity and self-esteem that I (and most others with BPD) experience.

Best,

Charlie
