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

Are any of you aware of some type of helpful media to share with your pwBPD?

Something that doesn't mention BPD at all.  Something that might cause him/her to relate a bit with what is happening.  Something that doesn't necessarily address it, but might cause the pwBPD to do some introspection or research on their own ..

Or potentially something we could experience together ( a book or movie etc ) that we could both relate to (again no mention of PD or BPD).  We could have a good cry, hug, connection.  We could focus on how to make things better and avoid some of the common pitfalls.  We could both be aware and vigilant .. etc ..

If there isn't media like that, I think there sure would be a market for it smiley

Alan Fruzzetti has a book, "the high conflict couple" that doesn't mention BPD. He's an expert in pwBPD and DBT skills.
 
Its clinical, but easy to read and filled with exercises and ideas to rebuild closeness and heal the pain.


"ACT with love", by Russ Harris is another great book for couples to work on together.

Another great book is "Boundaries" by Cloud & Townsend.  The same authors also wrote "Boundaries in Marriage," but I liked the original book better.
