Quote From: anon_slcBorderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a psychological disorder characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self-identity.
While less known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 2% of adults (1-33), mostly females. Some of my favorite books that provide a great introduction and insight are:
Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward OR Why is it Always About You? The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss
Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood by Julie Gregory OR The Psychology of Female Violence: Crimes Against the Body by Anna Motz MAYBE Whatever Mother Says by Wensley Clarkson
Understanding the Borderline (Parent) Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable and Volatile Relationship by Christine Ann Lawson
Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back...by Paul Mason and Randi Kreger OR Surviving a Borderline Parent: How to Heal Your Childhood Wounds & Build Trust, Boundaries and Self-Esteem by Kimberlee Roth and Freda Friedman

Some of the story is typical: early family conflicts, abusive relationships, feelings of insecurity contributing to destructive behaviors such as cruelty, manipulations, rage attacks, revenge, promiscuity, addictions, self-abuse, and eating disorders. The extreme behaviors of BPD constitute the high drama in the stories of those who endure its ravages.
There are relationships, marriages and families that are so destructive the only option is for a person to get out. Get out with the little bit of sanity you may have remaining. As painful as it may be, make a promise to yourself to leave. Leave so you can begin a life of healing and recovery. Leave so you can learn how to live a joyful, peaceful, supportive and fulfilling life.
Hope it helps!
I am the parent of two wonderful children. I think this woman should have the same thing done to her. Forget getting her some help! She should be forced to have a feeding tube inserted through her nose and after she endures all the same torture, she should be buried alive. I think scum like her should be removed from this earth. Thank god the children has people who care about them and they are now ok. Except the precious darling who is now without a chance at life because of a deranged psychopath!
