I was wondering if anyone could recommend an online resource (or some other

resource) that I could use to explain BPD to my friend? I've had several

discussions with my friend, and she is starting to understand why I'm NC with my

parents, but she is a really nice person and has a hard time setting (and

enforcing) boundaries with my nada, who calls her once a month to try and get

info about my kids. I've told her that it is dangerous for her to give my nada

*ANY* information, so she tries to avoid my nada's calls, but sometimes picks up

the phone by accident. She thinks telling my nada things like " the kids are

doing great, they're happy, they play with my daughter all the time " is

harmless, but I'm not sure she fully understands that she is dealing with an

irrational, manipulative and destructive person who is looking for any excuse to

call CPS on me, or may show up one day and try to take my kids herself! I'm

hoping to find something simple that she can read that explains " BPD is a mental

illness " in one or two pages since she is a busy mom and doesn't want to spend a

lot of time (like I have) online researching. She is starting to " get it " but

I'd like to drive the point home :-)

Thanks for your help!
