Shared Characteristics of Adult Children of BPD

[Guest guest]

I wonder why adult kids of BPD parents are such likable people? Is this a

common characteristic among them/us or do I just feel comfortable here because I

belong and am finally understood?

Adult children of alcoholics often learn to be caretakers. I know this breeds

co-dependency, but when balanced and healthy, can it turn into a good thing?

The people on this forum are creative, funny and incredibly intelligent. Also,

I notice that you respond to one another and me with genuine caring and concern.

I wonder if there is a step after realization, after anger, after tears, after

boundaries, after acceptance, that I could call gratitude? Not like it was such

a picnic being raised in that home - but could I redeem a part of my past by

being thankful for the good things, at least, that it produced in me?
