BPD or self-preservation

[Think About It....]

My SO's 19 year old daughter has be diagonsed possible BPD.  Her mother in our opinion is uBPD.  Is it possible that this is just daughters way of coping with uBPDmom?  I have watched daughter turn it on and off when she feels it will serve her.  Her mom lets her get away with a lot and even uses the illness as and excuss for daughter to be rude.

There is a good possibility that BP's daughter is also BP.  She's got a possible diagnosis, and she's had a model for BP her whole life. 

From what I've read, it can "turn on and off," depending on the situation.  If she's done enough to be suspected of having BP, then she obviously can't turn it off enough.

Was this a ways for her to cope with BPmom?  Probably yes, it was.  But the fact that she's been coping in the same way for so long tends to make this a habit, a pattern, and possibly a personality (disorder). 

...Nonetheless, it is not an escuse for being rude.
