I'm a child of a borderline with narcissistic tendencies. I had PTSD until the age of 38, then underwent EMDR therapy that changed my life. I can now live a full life, and I accept there is absolutely no reason for my mother to ever be included in my life again. I praise anyone's attempt to help a BPD, but I hold no hope for a solution. Some referred to "Stop walking on eggshells" as outdated, but I found it a revelation that significantly helped in my understanding and recovery.

(wikipedia) Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro which uses eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to purportedly assist clients in processing distressing memories and beliefs. boop beep

  The closest thing to a magic wand I've ever seen seen or heard of. Living with trauma for 38 years only to have it wiped away in 5 50 minute sessions. Amazing! I then spent 3 years in psychotherapy learning to be a person (literally a child in an adult's body), but it was life saving. Profound.
