What is this?
Think About It... Acceptance doesn't mean you approve; it doesn't mean you're happy about something; it doesn't mean you won't work to change the situation or your response to it, but it does mean that you acknowledge reality as it is--with all its sadness, humor, irony, and gifts--at a particular point in time...~ Freda B. Friedman, Ph.D., LCSW, Surviving a Borderline Parent

You have all helped me so much.  I think I have more compassion, patience, understanding and love for my pwBPD  (I must sound like I have it all together...ha!)  Just wanted to say thanks-you are the only people who really understand.

cfh:  We all help each other, so thanks goes out to you too.  I have come to realize that noone really understands unless you walk in our shoes.  I have all but given up trying to make people understand or have compassion for our pwBPD or ourselves.  I was talking to my older daughter last night and she said to me that having something that doesn't show on the outside is so hard because people look at you at expect that everything is fine.  In her case she was talking about this problem she has with cystitis which can be debilatating at times but the same goes for our pwBPD.  Sometimes I think if we put them in wheelchairs people would have more empathy for them and us.

Invisible disabilities are some of the hardest for people to accept or understand.
