❓Question Post mommy issues?

I'm a fellow BPD'er! is it normal for people with bpd to have a history of being very close with their mom? I've seen it in memes on SoMe and heard about it in a podcast. I have always been very close with my mom, and afraid that she was going to abandon me because my fathers home was horrible. So I've always been very nice to her, and always had trouble confronting her when I felt that she was tough or strict... She always said to me that she really wants me to tell her how I'm feeling, but when I did/do, she would neglect what I was saying and tell me that I'm wrong and too sensitive.

anyone familiar with this?

Not familiar with that particular dynamic, however I have mama issues up the wazoo. I am not close with my mom, always wanted to be though. I feel like I’m nothing but a disappointment to her. I think mama or parental trauma is quite common amongst our community
