borderline personality
I don't think my sister has a borderline personality, only that she's very stupid and resists any attempt to change that. I honestly want to have a meaningful conversation, but she just shuts me down and refuses to talk to me. I picked her up from the hospital, with the blood test confirming the pregnancy. Throughout the car ride I'm trying to think of the words to be properly convincing, it's only right as we pull up to her home that I can think of what to say, and I'm trying to tell her the reality that introducing a child into a poor household with an unready mother is just going to make it suffer, and that she should take my suggestion seriously, and she just cuts the conversation short and walks away. I've never been able to have very good conversations with her, and now that the subject is so deadly serious it is even harder.
I just can't think of any way to say it that is more tactful, and time is of the essence, so I can't help but be blunt about it, as mean as it makes me sound.
That's a very good suggestion Vector, though I don't know anyone that fits that criteria, being an antisocial bastard with few social ties. There's one other member of my family who I'd say is a good mother, having three sons of her own, all grown now. Perhaps I could solicit daycares, or random Mothers on Craigslist or something, asking to let my sister have firsthand experience with young children, though I'd need to get my Sister on board with the idea first. Though honestly the first part of that plan sounds like an awful idea, and I would never consider it under normal circumstances, but this isn't a normal circumstance.
