The boyfriend/not boyfriend/best friend is meeting my mom on Monday. My mother is mentally disabled to the point of being semi-handicapped and is far from the woman who raised me. Well, there’s not really a stroke or something super to blame, but the whole borderline personality disorder thing puts a damper on shit, mainly her life. But my bipolar non-boyfriend may relate…so there’s that.
My mother and SIL want me to get my masters in social work and become a therapist. Based on my experience in mental illness and habit of dating mental illness disasters, I think that they might be on to something.
p.s. This is not the first time that I’ve introduced a non-boyfriend/boyfriend with mental health issues to my mother with mental health issues. Le sigh.
