[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are such a sweet sister.

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.  And adjust your expectations, she will always be like this and no amount of sweetness on your part will ever get her to come around.

I have a SIL who has BPD, we haven't spoken to her in 12 years.  It's been heaven.  I have a lot more $ since I'm not always being asked, I don't have to have her in my home for days at a time cooking and waiting on her, and I don't get 15 ridiculous phone calls every week about every single problem she has and how horrible I am at helping her.

Not saying to cut her off but it was truly the best thing I have ever done.[/quote]

I know, I know.  What scares me right now is that her personal situation is so precarious, and so emotionally fraught, and she is so woefully unequipped to deal with it, and has no family around, and to be honest, I worry that she will spiral futher down and hurt herself.  I really do.  I am terrified that I will be attending a funeral at some point.  So I can't, in good conscience, cut her off right now.  I have in the past, but I just can't right now.  I know her problems are not mine to fix, and I am not trying to fix them.  But I can try my best to be there for her as much as I am able without being a doormat.[/quote]
