Lollie's Story
« on: December 19, 2007, 07:59:59 AM »
Dear Lollie,
  You have such a "sweet" voice. I can picture you as soft and gentle. It seems that you have had  great courage to move forward,instead of giving up(which is often the "easier" option).
  I can relate to much of your story.I clung to my F( the good parent).
  I knew that my M was off. I tried to make up for it by looking "good".* I* had to have a good image so she would look good..
 I have tried to please therapists(many times) and lost what *I* needed ,in the therapy.
  The board ,for me, provided the most healing. As I face the truth,I heal. My journey is simply to face what IS and to separate the lies from the truth. the truth is that we ARE worth s/thing. That basic truth will take us a long way to health(IMO)
 I am so glad that you are here and working on issues, which is the reason for the board's existence.
                                     Love    Ami

Actually, your mom sounds like she does have BPD issues. Have you ever read the book, "Understanding the Borderline Mother" by Christine Lawson? I haven't yet (somehow I can't get past the title b/c I want to understand bordeline fathers..my bad), but from what I hear, it's very, very good.

Thanks Lollie.
