The stigma against BPD is so terrible. 

My narcissistic mother who has abused and degraded me is still trying to pursue custody of my child that I had at 14 (from a rape), and I’m 26 now. She’s called ACS and made up a whole bunch of allegations that are untrue, she’s gone to court and made other serious allegations that resulted in us both getting a psych evaluation. Turns out I’m a great mom and should just seek therapy for all the trauma I’ve had (which I do now), and let’s just saw the psychologist did not have any nice things to say about my mother at all. Anyway, in a few weeks we go to court for yet another attempt at her trying to get custody simply because she thinks I’m unfit. Also because she ruined all 6 of her kids and kind of sees my kid as her way to make things up for it. Her second chance if you will. This is all so much for me especially since I just found out she had FGM performed on me at birth. I’m just finding this out now after inspecting myself down there and realizing I don’t have a “normal” anatomy. Sometimes I feel extremely suicidal but I power through for my kid that I love so much. I’m trying to raise him the best I can but she won’t leave us alone :( she’s brainwashed him in the past and even the psyche eval concluded that. Idk what else to do my heart is in pieces 💔
