I recently stumbled upon a subreddit where people who were raised by parents with borderline talk about how much it messed them up and how much they hate their parents. This has thrown me into a serious crisis, questioning everything about myself as a parent, something I’ve prided myself in so much and something I’ve been so passionate about. I know that I’m a good parent, I know that I always have my child’s well being, consent, and future as the firsts in my mind. I most certainly put him first. But reading these posts on that subreddit, I’m scared that I’m going to somehow fuck my kid up or that I’m tricking myself into thinking I’m a good parent when really I’m not. I really need other people with BPD to tell me that they’re successfully parenting. I’m so overwhelmed with love for my son and I seriously want to be a stable parent for him because it’s something that I didn’t have. I never want him to hate me.
