[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having btdt with the whole low minute thing (needing to leave enough so that my kids could get a hold of me if they needed to), it's possible that she came across abrupt and rude.  When really what she was saying was the truth - "I want to talk to you, but I can't talk long on this phone because it's about to go dead".  When she got to a phone that she could call you from, YOU ignored her call because you "don't like drama".

Honestly, you sound like a bit of a pill yourself.  Sorry.[/quote]

Unfortunately, interacting with someone with BPD can be excruciating even for the most patient of people. The OP did the best he/she could. I have a sibling with BPD and I've had to essentially cut off all contact. It's not about avoiding "drama". It is about avoiding getting sucked into the person's view of reality. Ignoring a phone call/email/text/whatever from a loved one with BPD is often the only solution. Effective DBT treatment (often with meds) is VERY VERY helpful for some portion of people with BPD, but that's something the OP's sister would need to decide that she wants.

OP was doing what was right for him/her.[/quote]
