Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I agree with you. It has to be both because my husband and the other sister are not like that at all. I did some research but there is not much on the subject. Especially on BPD, I feel bad for the little support there is on the subject out there, but this community is amazing! I love how you all support each other and read my posts also. I figured out this past March my MIL has BPD and since then I felt a big relief to figure out what is wrong, it even helped me deal with it better. > > Hi there, > > I believe they think there can be a genetic component; some people are wired to be more sensitive/emotionally labile, and of course there is an environmental component - how you are raised. Cluster Bs create more Cluster Bs. Also the situation you describe with your SIL I think is called " learned helplessness " . My mom had this, where you need to be all waify and dependent to elicit attention and sympathy. Little kids pick this up quickly if they are " coddled " a lot. > > SR > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 You did your research! My MIL is the only one with BPD in her family and left her house when she was 17 because she felt ignored. Her parents are amazing and really educated people. You are right! > > > > Hi there, > > > > I believe they think there can be a genetic component; some people are wired to be more sensitive/emotionally labile, and of course there is an environmental component - how you are raised.
