My mom was diagnosed with depression, but that therapist wasn't very good. She missed the fact I had two personality disorders, misdiagnosed me as schizoaffective and didn't diagnose me as bipolar. I'm pretty sure my mother is borderline, though its calmed down a lot since she entered her 50s. It use to be intense when I was a child and adolescent.

I'm pretty good at standing up for myself now. I confronted my mom and really laid it on her, and she's been better toward me since then. She's the reason I developed BPD and contributed to my PTSD. If she doesn't like my personality and how I turned it, its really on her. And my dad. I'm doing what I can with the hand I was dealt, to make myself a higher functioning, better person and its going to be a life long struggle. But its worth the effort.

My mom refuses to come in and speak to my therapist because I "tell my therapist horrible things about her" and she doesn't like her and will only side with me, and attack her. Well. If my mother hadn't done horrible things to me, then I wouldn't be saying them. I never make things up. I just tell my therapist what happened. Its not my fault I was abused (which my mother denies).

Anyway, my sister will probably only stay a couple of days. They never stay longer than that, so I'll likely only spend one day with them.
