My I will be alone til noon, then a couple of my children are coming over. I have a daughter who has torn apart the family with her splitting ways and I am most not favored.
Borderline Personality disorder and narcissistic traits are a bi***. Literally
One child dropped in this evening and we played a game and talked a bit. She left the family gathering because the drama of the borderline who manipulates heavily and requires constant positive affirmation, is wearing. I am, as she said, a safe haven.
The ex is eating this up.
In the morning a young friend is stopping by for some egg nog and goodies.
I am ok. I just have to realized that I have some children but no family, and am beginning to place myself into the lives of others.
Been doubly difficult this year because all three of my good adult friends have moved away to warmer climates.
On the positive side two friends I have not seen in years have stopped in. Great glow from the catching up.
Enjoy the old friends. That is always special. I can’t imagine a child with BPD AND NPD. That is tough.
Even with my four beautiful kids, I feel so alone so much that I need to start to create more of a family even of friends around. Good you are doing that.
Merry Christmas from your New Mexico FRiend.
