Title: Should I send her Get Me Out of Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Di Post by: ticl on March 06, 2012, 11:23:50 PM Hi,
I believe she has BPD, but she is not aware of it. There is a court-order not to communicate right now, but I want to help her because we have a child. I want to know if anyone recommended the book Get Me Out of Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder. I just finished reading it and found it to be very inspirational. I'm sure this topic has come up before, but can only find it regarding dBPD. Please help. I know she is suffering, and want her to help herself, for her and for my child Title: Re: Should I send her Get Me Out of Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Di Post by: beyondbelief on March 07, 2012, 12:46:00 AM Mental health is a complicated subject. There are many different conditions present in varying degrees. Plus it is possible for a person to suffer from more than one at the same time. It really takes an experienced professional to sort it all out. Even with the best of intentions, it is possible to cause considerable harm by telling her, whether you are right or wrong.
Many members have told the pwBPD in their life. There are a few success stories however they are dwarfed by the number of stories where doing so caused things to become much much worse. It is impossible to know and since the odds are really against doing any good, I would recommend you keep your knowledge to yourself. Here is another resource on this. Workshop - BPD: How can I get someone to see a therapist or to get into treatment? (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=76633.0) I would suggest you start posting on board for coparenting to get some answers and support for your child. Raising a child when one parent has BPD board (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?board=9.0) If there are legal issues then we have a board for that too.

Sit on your hands if you have to. Time to work on yourself and that's the best that you can do for your child. |iiii Title: Re: Should I send her Get Me Out of Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Di Post by: ticl on March 08, 2012, 12:44:02 AM thanks to both you of.
