What deos pwBPD, fBPD, etc. mean?

New to all of this, so thanks for the info

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

No worries!

I use pwBPD to say "person with BPD", especially if I'm chatting with people here on the "son/daughter/etc with BPD" board, because the person in my life with BPD traits isn't my child. So I often use "pwBPD" if I'm talking about some general traits.

Not sure about fBPD -- could mean a female person with BPD? Haven't seen that one around.

I sometimes use pwPD to say "person with a personality disorder", as while my husband's kids' mom has many BPD traits, her husband has strong NPD traits (yay, what a combo), so I sometimes talk about PD traits in general (versus BPD in particular).

You may see uBPD, which stands for "undiagnosed BPD", and dBPD, which stands for "diagnosed BPD", as well.

I think x, xW, and xH show up more on other boards, and you can probably guess mean "ex", "ex-wife", and "ex-husband". Same for xGF and xBF.

Hope that helps for starters!
