I know she loves me and cares about my mental health right now. But we'd both be more comfortable not having to have a long emotional discussion about that type of stuff. I mean even thinking about it as I'm writing this, talking about anything emotional with parents just seems so weird. I'd say it's probably been atleast 15 years since ive hugged or said I love you to either of my parents. Not since they started using, which was when I was about 10.
Given all the general symptoms and emotional neglect by your parents at a young age, I would lean towards BPD - but that is still just conjecture.

Have you taken the BPD test here?
