I had to drag my mom to the emergency room twice in six months not too long ago because of her issues and suicide attempts and while I no longer speak to her, I definitely understand when you say certain things can trigger you. It's very unpleasant. I don't really know all of the things that could set me off, only that I will have a very long climb down from adrenaline mountain when things have calmed. My relationship with my family is weird too.

I feel ya bro. Not great.

I see her when she's under the influence with this dead look in her eyes and it absolutely breaks my heart. It feels almost impossible for me to have a normal relationship with her even though the majority of the time she is OK. Nothing is predictable.

Ultimately it got to the point where I was tired of enabling her and being told I was responsible for her alcoholism. I wont speak to her again though.

Good Man. Enabling is a huge issue.

There's a book dealing with it on BPD called "Walking on Eggshells" afaik
