Borderline Mothers

Kristen Bristol

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What if the person who was supposed to keep you safe was also the one who left you doubting your own worth? For many adult children of a parent with borderline personality traits, this question is less a thought experiment and more a quiet, daily ache. The problem? Growing up in emotional whiplash, affection one moment, rejection the next—teaches you to walk on eggshells without ever noticing the cracks beneath your feet. You learn to shrink yourself, to anticipate every shift in tone, to guess rather than speak. And even years later, the old patterns follow you: the guilt that isn’t yours, the anxiety that never seems to switch off, the guilt-triggered “yes” that comes out before you understand why. The part few people admit out loud: These patterns don’t disappear on their own. They show up in your relationships, your confidence, your boundaries, and even the way you talk to yourself. You’ll learn how to: Spot the patterns that shaped your childhood so they stop running your adult life. Recognize emotional traps that once kept you stuck and now lose their power. Detach from guilt that was projected onto you for years. Respond without overreacting when a parent pushes your buttons. Set limits without feeling like you’re betraying anyone. Protect your mental space when a parent uses chaos to pull you back in. Handle manipulation without losing your calm or your clarity. Strengthen your identity after years of being told who you should be. Rebuild trust with yourself, especially around decisions and instincts. Duration - 2h 28m. Author - Kristen Bristol. Narrator - Digital Voice Michelle G. Published Date - Sunday, 05 January 2025. Copyright - © 2025 Roberta Scalisi ©.
