As long as you’re making an earnest attempt to get better and recognize you’ve messed up here and there in your relationships with people, I can’t ever hate you.

I’ve been trying to reconcile all the guilt for cutting off my dad for his emotional instability and alcoholism and seeing this sub filled with people trying to get better has put me at ease.

I’ve been so afraid this whole time that I was basically abandoning someone who has no clue what he’s done wrong because he can’t see himself as anything but right; however, I can see now that people with BPD aren’t collectively all lost souls.

Mb, I feel really fucking narcissistic saying this. I have really annoying intrusive thoughts (I’m on a shitton of zoloft) about him constantly and it’s just emotionally draining and exhausting. So as long as you’re making an effort, you’re fine. We’re all going to be better.
