You do realize some parents are abusive, right?

My mom has BPD. She said a lot of stuff over the years. I’ve mostly repressed my childhood memories until about 3rd grade. I think the meanest thing she said was to my sister though. My sister invited her and our dad to her home for her child’s first birthday, not a big party, just cake and ice cream with my sister, her DH and their kids. My parents have social anxiety so they don’t go to parties. My mom said something like: no thanks, I only have 2 days left of my long weekend and I want to enjoy my time. [/quote]

It fascinates me that a number of people here have mentioned that they don’t remember parts of their childhood.

My husband’s mother likely has BPD, and he remembers nothing about his childhood until junior high. His brother, though, remembers it all - reckless driving to scare them, chasing them around the house hitting them with a belt, getting mad and kicking them out of the car miles from their house so they had to make their own way back home as children, essentially neglecting them when she got a new boyfriend, screaming that they had ruined her life, etc.

I tease my husband about his really awful memory, but maybe it was a defense mechanism.

After we had kids my husband became depressed. His therapist thinks that being a parent brought up memories of his own miserable childhood, which triggered the depression. Therapy has helped.

I’m so sorry for everyone who had a toxic mother, especially since it can keep reverberating for years.[/quote]
