Never-Ending Nag Story

Professionals and other people dealing with BPD parents keep telling us that the healthy thing to do for my mother...when she is out of control like this.. Is to ignore her.

"ignore her...ignore her...."

Can you ignore a Queen Bee that keeps buzzing in your face, eyes, and ears, and keeps trying to sting you no matter how much you try to pretend it isn't there -- or where you move to?
 
She will not stop.

With both my sister and I, she keeps texting, she keeps calling, she keeps leaving messages, she keeps emailing, she keeps posting obvious "family is supposed to be there for each other" status updates on Facebook, and then she calls, texts and posts some more.

THIS -- trying to get us to not ignore her -- is her new obsession.
And her obsessions have no bounds, and no definite time limits.  They can go on weeks....months....   She is extremely determined.  We've seen it before.

Her texts:
"please call"
"please call so my stress will get better..."
"please call me I wouldn't be calling and texting so much if you would give me a call."
"please call me this is killing me"
"please come see me..."
"do you know how much this hurts me and how stress it makes me when u wont call or come see me"

Facebook:

5 minutes ago:  Stomach starting to hurt again. scared that my problems might start up again. I just need some of this stress off

28 minutes ago:  waiting for phone call so i can sleep

(insert other updates about weather she is also obsessing about)

7 hours ago:  MAY I ASK MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, TO KINDLY COPY PASTE & SHARE THIS STATUS FOR 1 HOUR TO GIVE A PRAYER SUPPORT TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS,STRUGGLING,AND JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE CARES. I HOPE TO SEE THIS ON THE WALLS OF ALL MY FRIENDS! JUST FOR MORAL SUPPORT. I KNOW SOMEONE WILL...GOD BLESS

8 hours ago: Darn it so so tired. going tohave to lay down. Only got about 4 hours sleep again last night and could not go back to sleep with worry and anxiety. Had hoped to try and make it to church Can;t focus. Need things to get better in my life

12 hours ago:  Family is supposed be there for you no matter what comes your way. Shame on the ones who are not, that's is not what family is about.
AND A FRIEND RESPONDS (and pisses me off):  Yes, your family should always be there for you when you need them. Sometimes the young don't share the same values. Keep your chin up and take care of yourself the best you can. Doesn't sound like family is going to do much for you. So just be like "The Little Engine That Could", and don't expect the help. Then you won't be disappointed when you don't get any. Praying for you!

Last night: I guess from not being able to nap in days to being able to catch a half hour is progress. Still wish i would get some phone calls or visits

...and keep repeating a cycle of face books posts and emails and texts and calls like above.
For weeks now.
And it WILL continue.
She WILL NOT stop.
