Hello all.  I’m new here. 

I always wondered why I was different. It took a long time to discover in my 30s a diagnosis of BPD made by a psychiatrist.  Looked up the meaning and thought, That’s not me at all.  A few decades later, Quiet BLD came up in search results.  WHAM!!  Me to a T. 

Just saying hello. I’m 72 and, sadly, qBPD has not gone away. I live a very solitary life.  And it’s okay. Blessings to you all.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi Gennie and thank you for your post
I had heard the name 'quiet BPD' but didn't know much about it - so your post sent me looking.

Gosh you have had to deal with a lot over so many years. The internal turmoil must be huge.

There is a small note of optimism in your post and I really admire you for that Gennie. It takes a lot to suffer a lot and still be able to see some ray of light - even a tiny one.

Congratulations on being 72 - and being who you are.
