I just ended my relationship with my mentally ill mother.

You are doing great! I’m so glad that the letter reached her on a sane day. I know just what it’s like wondering which kind of day she’ll be having.

Set your time period now, Olives. I’d recommend a one year term before you reconsider any contact. If you don’t make up your mind now, then I fear the holidays will come and you’ll pressured to “just spend the afternoon together” just when you are hitting your vulnerable freedom point.

Hang tough!

Way to go, Olives! There’s a lot in this thread that speaks to me, especially since our entire design team and even the contractors are being driven nuts by a Crazy Client. And I’d like to find out more about this transcranial magnetic stimulation as well…

I have an appt. this Thursday to learn more about it and hopefully get a treatment schedule set up. I’ll start an ‘‘ask the…’’ thread once the treatment course is complete.

Good for you for being so strong. It sounds like the initial conversation went well.

I had a very similar situation with my bpd sister. It happened months ago and it was the most liberating thing I think I’ve ever done. You should be proud of yourself. Stay strong.
