My mom was very naive, she grew up in a really strict religious home in a rural area and didn’t know where babies came from until she was pregnant 2 weeks after eloping my dad (dad said, ‘that thing we do? that’s how you get pregnant’). She was really strict with us, so sometimes she would play dumb to try and bate us…

What pisses me off on top of that is that this is a PRINCIPAL. Maybe you should like children if you’re working directly with them, just a thought.

...I kind of love this

I am dying laughing at this one. This is incredible

It’s almost amazing how many motives/angles a borderline can implement to manipulate people. Thank you for the kind words, I’m happy you are well. Living well is the best revenge <3

I can relate to so much you said <3 Almost all sense of self is lost when you become the caretaker for your borderline parent. My older sister got the brunt until she moved out, the youngest was always the favorite and I was neglected until my older sister left. Once the older one was out of the house all of mom’s…

Yeah exactly. I know some people love intensity and dye their hair pink because they want to only wear pink and they are going for a strong statement look. For me, pink hair meant I was basically wearing a pink t-shirt everyday and my outfits had to work around that

I’m looking into DBT now, I have the same issues with coping skills. My therapist explains it like I see the world through a borderline’s perspective because I had to in order to cope in my home (both my parents are borderline and my mother’s parents). It’s really hard but speaking to other people who grew up in BPD…

As another kid of a borderline mom, it is impossible to show them you are doing well. They don’t see reality and no mater what you cannot ‘prove’ your worth to them. I struggle with not sending my pay stub to my mom with a picture of my middle finger but I know it would never mean anything to her

I’m totally estranged from my borderline mother so *hugs you.* I know estrangement isn’t best for everyone but do not feel guilty for protecting yourself. Also I always suggest this to other children of borderlines but the book ‘Understanding the Borderline Mother’ changed my life.

I actually experienced the complete opposite. When my hair was red, teal, pink, green, purple, and blue I mostly stuck with my *normal* makeup, a black cat-eye, mascara, and light blush. I also wore more neutral colors. I just felt my hair was the center of attention and bold make up and outfits would compete and look…

I did a reverse image search and it’s from a haunted house :) (I understand, I am fragile as well)

I did a reverse image search and it is someone dressed up at a Haunted House. You can see it isn’t real when you see all the pictures together.

;-) Atticus Murphey Jr from Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. That show is amazing!

If I dig I might be able to find it!

I’m going to fan girl here for a minute - Deerhoof is like the nicest band in the world. As a teen during myspace days I messaged them and they spent a lot of time having a well thought out and endearing conversation with me (even though I probably sounded like a dumb kid). A few years later a friend saw them in…

I googled her and could not find one photo without the sunglasses. She’s like a drag queen persona come to life

I can understand reflecting back on ourselves in a way that wasn’t perceived by others. Like I would have considered myself funny, talkative and friendly but I’m sure a lot of my peers though I was obnoxious, loud and weird.

Oh no not at all, I was just really surprised to see this article because I honestly thought the place was a myth. A myth shared in hushed voices around my southern Pentecostal church...

God that is so sad and horrible. Dare I ask what the baby formula trick is?
