Hi there angela9664,

It sounds as if responding to her is part of the problem you encounter. Rather than look for "pat" responses that you think she might hear better how about taking some space when she is verbally abusive?

It's a difficult line to walk but any response when someone, especially with a personality disorder, is abusive, just feeds into their less than appropriate ways of doing and saying things.

Have you thought about what it might look like to take your power back in taking care of yourself and not continuing to expose yourself to your mother's verbal abuse?

A.J.
