Everything I have read seems to point to BP, I really don't know if there is a chance with a relationship with her as I don't know how to deal with her.
Everyone who is close to her cannot live up to her standards, she treats us disrespectfully because we don't meet her expectations. Yet people who she works with or friends think she is friendly and self sacrificing.
She will tell me she is perfect and a lovely person and can't see why others can't be more like her. I can't answer her but have to stay silent, as this is normally said after she has shouted and sworn at something that has happened.
When I am with her I find myself feeling despised, just tolerated because I am her mother.
Her boyfriend tells me it all about her and he gets no consideration, things are only good when he is doing what she wants.
Her children have insecurity problems and are very manipulating, although she is the only one who can't see it. When they treat her badly she cries to me, if I try to help she tells me she loves them so much she has to give in to them.
I really don't know how to get to have a relationship with her that is not confrontational.
Close family members now only bother with her when she contacts them, as they find her attitude too much to cope with.
Thank you for being here
