Speaking of, my mom suggested I go to the Alanon meetings she used to go to. This is funny, she thinks all of my issues come from my dad being an alcoholic. Couldn't be further from the truth. My mom, apparently as I've learned through therapy, being BPD is what screwed me up so bad.

But my brother and I think it's kind of funny letting her go on thinking it's my deceased father to blame. I mean he was an alcoholic, but I never knew it until I was an adult. He never missed band concerts, scout meetings, or soccer games. He never missed work, he wasn't abusive, he put good food on the table and provided a nice house. What a son of a ***** he was, or so my mom likes to tell people.
