My son (34) asked me to help him find something to read on unhealthy relationships.  He was raised mostly by his BPD mom, til he was 18, and has made mostly bad choices about relationships.  I think it's a good sign that he asked me for that.

Ideas?

Thanks!

No More Mr. Nice Guy! http://amzn.to/HEvE9r

great book helped me out a ton...here's a summary

Dr. Robert Glover has dubbed the "Nice Guy Syndrome" trying too hard to please others while neglecting one's own needs, thus causing unhappiness and resentfulness. It's no wonder that unfulfilled Nice Guys lash out in frustration at their loved ones, claims Dr. Glover. He explains how they can stop seeking approval and start getting what they want in life, by presenting the information and tools to help them ensure their needs are met, to express their emotions, to have a satisfying sex life, to embrace their masculinity and form meaningful relationships with other men, and to live up to their creative potential.

"Nice Guys" supposedly find themselves uncommonly attracted to BPD women
