I think my mom had BPD....?

Question:

I think my mom has borderline personality disorder. She lies about me to other family members, and even tells my friends lies about me. And I have had people say that she acts like she is jealous of me, not like a mother but a jealous sister or something. She has manipulated situations to make me look bad infront of my father, and he always takes her side and believes her. It just baffles me that a grown women would lie so openly and obviously.
When I confronted her about the emotional abuse she informed me that she had never done such things and also that she has never called me "stupid,ugly,dumb....ect." She said that I obviously think these things about myself and have "imagined" her saying them. (BTW these are things she has done and said to me my whole life!) I then called my brother(whom she is also abusive to) and asked him if he has heard her say these things to me, OF COURSE he said yes. And was also shocked she would try and make me think it was all in my head.

Answers:
Sounds to me as if she is over jealous of you.Some mothers want to be like their daughter and will cause problems for the child to make herself look good.This is a toxic relationship and seems to me that you need to tell her how you feel and possibly break the ties that bind.You need to think about yourself.You deserve to be treated better by your parent.My mom always told me she wished I was never born and use to hit her stomach to get rid of me.Well SURPRISE I'm here.I have 9 other siblings and she treated them like gold.She was jealous that I was a daddy's girl,and she took her anger out on me.Even the day my dad died,he had a picture of only me at his bedside.She never told me she loved me and even when she died she lived with me to the end and none of the other siblings was there.She always cried for them.Even as they laid her to rest,I was yelling "bring her back and I'll do better". I am in counseling and have many mental illnesses related to the way my mother treated me.Please end this toxic relationship,or you may end up like me.

Yes, it really does. You didn't say how old you are. If you are in school, try talking to your guidance counselor, they are there for you to talk to and might have some really good suggestions. I have worked with many people who have bpd, and trust me it will wear you out trying to get through to them. The only thing you can really do is build a support system, counselors, friends, and close family members, clergyman if you have one, and in this way at least you won't lose your mind dealing with it. Try finding things to do outside the home that help to work off your frustrations, dance lessons, a sport, a gym membership, you know, good places where you can go. I would definitely work on my future goals of saving money and going off to college or getting a job and moving a little distance away. Don't shut her out of your life, but don't let her hurt you. I highly doubt that she will ever seek help, so you must save your own sanity. You are nobody's target hon. Good luck to you.
