Does anyone else BPD parent have intense impulses?

Yup. My mum recently left her husband (about 6 months ago). She is on benefits, to the tune of about £1,300 per month, but gets rent paid for her by the government as well + free bus travel and stuff. She has quite the deal.

So anyway she had been absolutely great with money, then after BPD making an almighty return in late august, she has since booked about 5-6 holidays, basically every 2 weeks for abou £500 each. She also randomly spent £300 on jewelry one day and spend £400 on shoes of the course of 2 days.

She now says she is asking the government 'for the full works' because she now also can't walk (some BS she's suddenly started saying) without a stick.

She has absolutely plenty of money to live on yet books a holiday every 2 fucking weeks and it's just out of hand... but whatever I've just made a decision I'm never giving any money to her ever so she can waste it if she's not going to listen to me. After all, she actually get's MORE money than me after I pay my rent + travel (which she gets for free).
