Hello All,  After reading Margalis Fjelstad's book  Stop Caretaking the Borderline or Narcissist, I am pretty sure my Mother has NPD and my brother has BPD.  I am the caretaker and I'm angry, tired and mostly sad.  I look forward to any support this group might provide.

Hi and welcome!

That is an excellent book to read.  What stood out the most to you?

Can you tell us more about your struggles with your mother and brother?

In the meantime, settle in and read.  We have a lot of good information on top of this being a great place to get support.  You are not alone!

Again, Welcome

Hi Linny2 Welcome new member (click to insert in post)

Thanks for making this first post and introducing yourself.

A few days have passed since you posted. How are things now?

Dealing with multiple disordered family-members can be very challenging. Could you tell us a bit more about your mother and brother who you believe to have BPD and NPD respectively? What behaviors do they exhibit which now make you fairly certain that they both have a personality disorder?
