Hi I am finally reaching out for connections. I have been reading everything on the site and following all the boards for quite a while now. It has helped so much that I am very thankful. Although the old me would have stayed on the sidelines because joining in the discussions is outside my comfort zone I am determined to change this type of thought pattern "that I have nothing to offer that would help anyone".  I now see that I have been unconsciously repeating my origional trama relationship with my uBPDMother.  My uNPDexH picked up the abuse of me right where uBPDM left off when she kicked me out of "her" house. In fact I now see that they both acted in similar abusive ways. Thanks to all who read this and/or respond. Thanks to all who make up this community which has changed my life forever for the better already.

Hi peanutbutter,

Welcome! You've already shared something of value with your first post- You're on your way to breaking the thought pattern...it takes time and patience with yourself.

It takes a lot of courage to do this work. Welcome.

Hi PeanutButter,

I have repeating the same....uBPD mom with NPD males, for years.  I of coarse rejected the healthy loving relationships....and part if not most was due to my mom......the struggle is real.

I think/feel this forum is the way to heal..

Hugs.
