article about children of mothers with BPD

[Guest guest]

I was just on the internet and found this article, some of you may know about it

already, but I thought it was great to see someone telling our story. I want to

really thank that author for her study.

I have often been frustrated with the lack of public awareness. But it's good

to compare our situation with the rise in public awareness of child sexual

abuse. Most people would get involved if they thought someone was molesting a

child they know, I think. There is so much awareness now, and sexual abuse is

clearly on the minds of parents.

Imagine a world wherein people are just as aware of and attuned to the realities

of BPD and its affects on their children. What would that world look like?

What sort of services would be provided to BP parents, and to the children?

What sorts of interventions would bystanders seek? (with sexual abusers,

concerned bystanders contact law enforcement) How would teachers and school

counselors address and help children of people with BPD? What tools would they

use? How could children of BPDs be taught and counseled to help them heal?

What if the PTSD of nons would be as widely understood as the problems sexual

abuse survivors have?

What if people who reported BP abuse of children were regarded as heroically as

those people who protect children from sexual abusers?

What if there was an alert system that let everyone in the neighborhood know

that a BP lives down the street (just like they do with sexual offenders)? And,

what if people would know what that meant?

What would a world filled with public awareness look like?

Thank you for posting this article, it was interesting. I get sad reading things

about the effects a BPD parent has on children, because they always seem to

describe me perfectly, and it makes me wonder who I would be if I had a real

mother.
