You will find loving concern, and people who actually understand what you are dealing with. For so long I though it was all me, or my pwBPD, was for lack of better wording... .Just plain crazy or a pathological liar. When I began reading stories, it was like reading my life on the screen. Other people deal with the same thing and WOW... .THEY UNDERSTAND.
As far as some of the most useful books I have found is " Stop walking on Eggshells" it is by far the best. It describes in depth what BPD is and where you the nonBP fit in, helps you understand why this is not your fault, and most importantly gives you great practical tools to work with and how they will impact your relationship with your BPD. Well come we love you here. Title: Re: How to communicate more effectively with those who have BPD?N Post by: Gidget on December 20, 2013, 04:53:28 AM Welcome Wondergirl101,
I truly believe reading the stories here on this board I feel like so many of them is what I have lived with a lot of them are worse then what I went thru. I do believe it made and helped me realize I was ok, not the perfect Mother but not what my daughter has accused me of in her fits of rage. I am finally understanding this disorder starting to feel less depressed and more encouraged in finding ways to start having a healthy relationship with my adult daughter and seeing what she saw thru her eyes.
