[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The doctor’s office called me again yesterday. She said my mom is confused and needs me to make and take her to appointments. She lives 5 states away, and is capable of making her own appointments.

I went into a rather short explanation about how she understands what’s going on, and has been like since I was a kid. I’m pretty sure the nurse thinks I’m the worst daughter on the planet. I tried to explain that she goes into attack mode when she’s pushed and says pretty much anything to keep from taking responsibility for dealing with the problem.

I hate the guilt that comes with this, but it’s a step up from the abuse I will endure if I get too involved. [/quote]

Op, my own mil is bpd, so I have some understanding of your struggle. Before I met her I knew nothing about personality disorders, and had very rose-colored glasses on about people and always saw things in a pretty positive light. The nurse is probably like I used to be, and simply not able to understand what you are dealing.  She's coming from a place of ignorance - don't let it make you feel guilty.  [/quote]
