Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 In light of many comments posted here lately by many of you, just let me say -- as a non-parent -- kudos to you for doing your best and braving the difficulties and becoming good parents in spite of your own BPD-afflicted childhoods. It's so hard for so many KOs to shed those fleas, and that you have consciously striven to do that is worthy of applause. When I was of childbearing age, I felt that I shouldn't have kids because (as I said then) I was afraid that I would treat them the way my parents treated me -- in other words that I would yell at them for tiny infractions, that I would be moody with them and lose my patience with them and scream abuse in their faces. I thought no, no, I can't take that risk, I can't put some innocent child through that -- because even if I consciously try to avoid acting that way, what if I can't avoid it? I'll ruin a child's life! At that time, many years ago, I didn't know about BPD, didn't know why my parents acted as they did, didn't really know that I was NOT my parents. All the best to all you parents out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
