So I was on the phone to my mother today and she was watching some programme. She also has diagnosed BPD.  There was a screaming child on the programme she was half watching and she pipes up

"You know, you never had temper tantrums when you were a child. You were really quiet child"

Yes mum. Every time I opened my mouth because i didnt want to do something you beat the shit out of me. Funny how your actions had that effect! 

She was completely oblivious of the consequences of her own actions. Like. WOW!
