I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
my mother is untreated DXBP... and a lot of the time i feel like she has this reaction with me.
after growing up with abuse and neglect in all forms i did actually become pretty numb. For a long time, nothing could shake that.
she will become verbally abusive, and if i do not react, she will go a step further and become physical. If i still did not react she would take most of my clothes and throw me outside. [literally]
if i wanted to come back in i needed to cry... if i wanted her to stop now i just know that i need to cry and get very upset.
i'm not sure if it's really looking for this reaction, or just seeing it stops her in her tracks.
she would do these things in front of my friends though...and wasn't bothered by there reactions....just mine. they could be crying and locking themselves in another room and it didn't phase her....only when i cried would she begin to reign in. She would need a few hours though...
to this day she is very much like this.
No one can sleep if she does not. no one should be hungry if she is not...and no one should EVER be angry with her.
and yes....she has a hair trigger... fastest gun in the west. i never know when it's coming. could be something i said weeks ago...and suddenly she snaps about it....and takes it entirely out of context.
i find myself very influenced by her moods as a result. the slightest change in her will send me into a panic sometimes...
I probably would have if I wasn't so busy being a mum & having a reason to crawl out of bed in the morning.
