Product Description

Book Description

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a disease with a confusing array of symptoms such as unpredictability, anger, depression and self-abuse. Parents who suffer from BPD are often unable to provide for their children's basic physical and emotional needs. The first step-by-step guide of its kind, Surviving a Borderline Parent leads readers to understand and overcome the lasting effects-low self-esteem, guilt, hypersensitivity-of a childhood where parents expect their children to take care of them.

About the Author

Journalist Kimberlee Roth has written extensively on BPD. Freda B. Friedman, PhD, LCSW, works with families of BPD patients at the Phoenix Institute in Chicago. Randi Kreger is the author of Stop Walking on Eggshells.

This isn't another book focused on family dysfunction or about terrible mothers (though BPD is diagnosed in women three times as often as in men, for a variety of reasons we'll cover shortly). Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource!, May 11 2004

By A Customer

My mother has BPD and the past six years have been the worst. She's alcoholic and IV drug abuser and her behavior has ripped my family to pieces. I have a brother and sister who are much younger than me and are still right in the middle of this family crisis. This book along with "Understanding the Borderline Mother" have helped me to gain some sort of control over my life. I've learned to look at her behavior as an illness and I now know that it's not my fault and that I have a right to live a happy life even if that means not having a relationship with my mother at all. I now know that a family is built around love, faith, kindness and genorosity and not manipulation, lies, drugs , sex and violence. I'm trying to pass all of this information on to my younger siblings in hope that they realize that they're not the problem either. This book is an absolute must read for anyone that has a parent with BPD.

5.0 out of 5 stars good book!!!, Jul 6 2008

By	C. A. Graham "Phoenix girl" (B C Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well this is a wonderful book for explaining why people act the way they do. I did not know why I was always blamed injured powerfully and pathologized. i.e I was the sick one, the burdensome one, and one with personality issues, like BPD. But when I read this book while it was challenging reading, it freed me. I saw my own pathology and extreme pain was because I was at the mercy of my mother who had BPD and her mother. So the cycle really gets to stop. You can say no, you don't get to hurt me and blame me and hurt me and make it about me. Read this book and it will open your eyes. Believe me.
