Title: Good Book for Teen to Understand and Better Cope with BPD Mother? Post by: Edelweiss on August 23, 2013, 06:32:53 PM Are there any recommendations out there for a good book to help a teenager understand BPD and how to deal with it and still love his/her parent (in this case, mother)? I don't want to give him something that mentions BPD by name, though, because I am sure there will come a day when he wouldn't be able to help but say it.
Perhaps something that talks about how to love/understand/support someone with anxiety, depression, trust issues, boundary issues, controlling and/or manipulative behaviors, twisted thinking, etc.?

Younger than that, it will be more up to you to explain things in an understandable way. I think there may be a children's book out there. Check out the book review page!
