Re: New BPD book

[Guest guest]

Sounds like a book I'll avoid reading, I think they should catagorize

borderlines a little better called the ones getting real help and the

nonfucntional refusers to get help.  THe ones who honestly try to fit into

society I can have more sympathy towards, however people like my nada should not

be allowed to act like the impulive idiots they are.  I think they need a

reality check of you will be alone if you keep acting abusive and rude.  I say

this after having to go NC to have my own life.  I think if someone would have

managed her better there might have been a chance, but since nobody did I had to

run to protect my life and now that she died when I'm still relatively young I'm

glad I did because I have the help and support that I need rather than be as

nada would ahve had it and been alone.

I think you made a good distinction here because there is quite a difference

between people who have BPD and want help and those who don't. My mother was one

of those, " I'm not crazy, everyone around me is! " She was always right, always

moral, and always, always the victim. Then I have a friend who has BPD (quite

severely) and she doesn't want help at all. She knows she has issues,

acknowledges she has BPD, but refuses to make an effort to get help.

Then I read blogs of people who really want help who have it and go through the

DBT therapy (which, honestly, I wouldn't mind trying for myself!), and want to

lead a better life. I've never read a memoir of someone with BPD. I generally

read books like Understanding the Borderline Mother and Surviving the Borderline

Parent because I want to understand it more, feel validated about what I went

through, etc.... A book like that may make me angry, I don't know. I honestly

don't think BPD's should be allowed to be alone with children unless they are in

serious, intensive treatment and/or supervised throughout the child's life. But

as someone else here said, that's a pipe dream and obviously there's no way to

enforce that wish.

Still, I can wish.

Although I think at some point they may notice more on emotional abuse and the

effects of it and someday they may beable to catch more of these.  THat's why

whenever scan asks me for money I avoid having conversations becausxe my

comments would be where were you when I was a kid and maybe I'd donate only if

you would catch emotional abuse as well.
