The funny thing is that I had very strict parents—only child of two nurses, both terrified that something awful would happen to me. He just thinks that very hands on strict boundaries is the right way to take care of people with BPD, which he believes I have.
Una, do you think you would have liked it or been in the “I hate this but it’s good for me” camp?
I hate the rules and the “don’t reward illness” attitude but appreciate the extra attention... and I’m not sure if it’s good for me or not. I can’t really tell either way—I haven’t SH’d or been inpt since I started seeing this guy (about a year and a half ago) so maybe he’s doing something right? But maybe it’s just Stockholm syndrome, I dunno. My brain’s not firing on all eight today.
