BPD and un-resolved Childhood Abuse

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I've been thinking, (oh dear lol) does BPD seem to only affect people who have a

histroy of childhood abuse?  It seems to be very closely linked.  Or do people

who do not have a history of child abuse suffer from it too?

My mother suffers from BPD and she is very histrionic, apologies for my

spelling!!!  She has had numerous affairs behind my step fathers back, any man

that pays her attention she jumps into bed with, but Im thinking this is because

she was sexually abused by her dad as a child and never dealt with

it.........think about it, she could never say NO to her abuser when she was a

child, through fear etc, and being a child, and everything else that goes with

how those sickos get you to think when being abused, so now even though she is

an adult, she has carried that fear of saying NO through to her adult

relationships...........so when a man approches her she has an inability to say

NO through the years of being abused as a child.

Does this makes sense??

Sorry if I am rambling.
