Classic projection. One of the tried and true ego defenses (usually coupled with a big ol' helping of denial).Do you see how Mom melds her emotional issues with the children?
More food for thought: When my H bit the bullet and filed for custody modification, X initially responded with, "Over my dead body", and soon moved on to "D doesn't know where she is or who she is anymore." (This said of a seven year old, mind. When I was seven, I just wanted to know what was for dinner.)
Within weeks of that last statement, D was living with us and X had embarked on her fabulous new life, in a new country, with a new husband and new "kids" (a pair of kittens). As inconceivable as it seems now, it is entirely possible for the pendulum to swing just that quickly, especially if you indeed are dealing with someone with BPD.
