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.

Kicking this thread back up as it is so very useful.

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.

Wow!

This needs to be at the top of the Supporting a Son or Daughter  board if not already.

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)
