I haven't watched this one but thought I'd post it as a reference. If anyone does watch it, do share your impressions. It is from 2008 so not quite as current as the other one.

I liked what he said about "learned behavior" and visiting in the hospital.  I have not been visiting my dd24 in the hospital because of how it upsets me.  But now I have a better reason:  that it reinforces her getting attention, people visiting her, when she ends up there for another suicide attempt.

That is exactly where I took it from. 

I think it is valuable to us parents who are helping in the raising of a child whose other parent has a mental illness. There seems to be a common fear surrounding our own children developing/exhibiting BPD traits/behavior.

It explains it really well what "normal acting out" is in comparison to "BPD acting out".

I gained so much insight from this video about BPD behavior... .  it really, really spoke to me.

I'm so glad you took the time to watch, mamachelle! (I know it's kinda long)
